At the inquest after her brother, Robert William Farndale’s (FAR00490) suicide:

 

Stockton Herald, South Durham and Cleveland Advertiser, 26 September 1908: THE INQUEST. “Suicide whilst of unsound mind” was the verdict returned at the inquest of the Cleveland hotel, Coatham, on Friday night. Evidence bearing out the facts reported above was given by Annie Farndale, sister, and Thomas Marshall, who burst open the bedroom door; while Dr MacKinley testified that deceased had been under his care at various periods. He suffered from melancholia, and complained of pains in his head and ears. Witness was struck with the possibility of his attempting to commit suicide, and he had previously mentioned this to his friends in order that they might watch him.

 

Newcastle Daily Chronicle, 23 September 1908: FOUND DEAD IN HIS BEDROOM. Robert Farndale, 40, a single man, who resided at 63 High Street, Coatham, Redcar, was found dead, hanging in his bedroom, yesterday afternoon. Deceased, who had not worked regularly as a drainer on the Kirkleatham estate owing to ill health, did not get up yesterday morning, and early in the afternoon his sister went to his bedroom, and asked if he wanted any dinner. To this he replied in the negative, and when she went again into the room a quarter of an hour later she found the door fastened, and could get no reply to her calls. A man named Thomas Marshall burst the door open, and discovered Farndale hanging from the head of the bed, which had been placed upon a box to make it higher. Life was extinct when Dr  J E MacKinley examined the body.
