| 24 | from a scrapbook at the Linesville Historical Society: JK RALEIGH'S SUICIDE DESPONDENT OVER LONG IDLENESS James K. Raleigh was 49 years old, as will be seen by the Pittsburg Dispatch's account of his suicide. He came to Linesville in 1868, from Erie where he had been clerk in the treasurer's office of the Erie & Pittsburg railroad company when the late WL Scott was president, and when J. Frank Allen, now in employ of the company at this place, was in the train dispatcher's office, at that time. Mr. Raleigh remained station agent of the company here until 1881 when he was given the Meadville agency of the Meadville & Linesville railroad which had been leased to the Pennsylvania Company. He held that position several years, in 1885 going into the mercantile trade at this place, under the firm of Raleigh & Co., in the Bowman building which was burned in the fire of 1891. Previous to his departure from this place, in 1889, he was in the grocery trade alone. In moving to Allegheny he acquired a lucrative position in the city offices of the office of the Pittsburg Western Railroad which he held until the spring of the present year. By the following account it will been he had (sic) acquired a position shortly before his death, having been without work for several months. When at work he was considered an accurate railroad man and for his one affliction was more than once in line for high position. He was of extreme nervous temperament, generally in the height of exhilaration or the extreme of bluest of despondency. Funeral was held at his Allegheny home Sunday and remains conveyed to this place Monday and interred in Linesville cemetery under the direction of Linesville Council, Royal Arcanum, of which he was a $3,000 beneficiary member. He leaves a wife and two children; and mother and two sisters of Brockton, NY. | Raleigh, James K. (I34448)
