Creston Review August 3, 1934
Missing since Sunday, July 22nd, the body of Jack Mathieu was taken from the Goat River near the first bridge on the K.V. Highway on Monday afternoon. Deceased, who lived alone, was not missed until late in the week, and when the police were notified and on forcing an entrance to his shack discovered a note that indicated suicide was the motive. Deceased was a painter by trade and had long been unemployed, and those intimately acquainted with him state he was of late taking a morbid view of life. The dead man was 50 years of age. The funeral took place on Tuesday to Creston Cemetery.
BCArchives: John Matheu d.22 July 1934 58 years old, at Creston.
