My uncle committed suicide in the 1950s; my mom's sister's husband
Perhaps he had cancer.
While he left my aunt with very little money: they owned a fish market in Largo, Florida, she still greatly loved homfor the rest of her life (to around 1984,,) and never remarried.
My mom represented her family at the funeral - she frew from Boston to Tampa, and had to change planes several times. Her many older siblings had never flown in the early 1950s.
