ROY LESLIE JAIN, November 29, 1944 (Probably Medford, Oregon,
Newspaper): ROY JAIN, INVALID, TAKES OWN LIFE

Roy L. Jain was found dead this morning in his garage at 816
South Central with a 20-gauge shotgun by his side, according to
city police. Jain, who had been in ill health for ten years,
leaves his wife, Nellie E. Jain, employed at the American
Laundry; a sister, Mrs. Florence Cunningham, San Diego, and a
brother, E. E. Jain, Dallas, Ore.

City police were called to Jain's residence around noon today
after Stanley Hake, 540 South Fir street, driver for the Valley
Fuel company, found Jain dead in the garage where he went to
deliver ice. There was a bullet wound just under Jain's heart.
Jain left a note for his wife, which said in part: "Nellie, I
believe this is the right thing to do as I don't want to be a
burden any longer."

Deputy County Coroner Carlos Morris believed that Jain was near
65 years of age. Jain had resided in Medford for a number of
years, but had not been employed because of his ill health.
