Summary: Hair Dresser's Death. (Press, 31 March 1931)
On 30 March 1931, Ronald Jack Gayfer, a 41-year-old hairdresser and tobacconist from Carterton, was found hanged in his shop. According to reports, he had appeared to carry on with his daily routine prior to the incident, even conversing with a friend. After this brief interaction, he closed and locked the shop before taking his own life by hanging himself using a strap over a cross beam. His body was discovered approximately an hour later. Efforts were made to revive him through artificial respiration, but unfortunately, they were unsuccessful. The tragic event has left the community in shock, as it was unexpected given Gayfer's normal demeanour earlier in the day.
