Photo by Harlan Ogle, Monticello, KY. ![]() Viquesney's second wife, Betty [Sadler], whose loss was too much for him to bear. Photo: Indianapolis Star, Feb. 11, 1940. With the death of his second wife, Betty, on August 21, 1946, just 16 days after his 70th birthday, Viquesney felt he had been dealt a mortal blow. He committed suicide on October 4, 1946, the thirteenth anniversary of the death of his first wife, Cora. The obituary below contains a "life history" written by Viquesney himself, which he had arranged to be delivered to the local newspaper. |
