Henry Gericke farmed five miles northeast of Postville. He never married and his sister, Tillie, kept house for him.
His death was ruled a suicide. A neighbor found him seated behind the steering wheel in his car, a 1936 Dodge, parked in the garage with the motor running. Sheriff William Huffman, Deputy Bill Ryan and Coroner Pateman were immediately called to the scene. Dr. Milton Kiesau of Postville pronounced the man dead.
