I'm reading a small town newspaper from 1907. On the same page, two suicides are listed.

one:
"Disappointed because three girls refused to marry him, Henry Kaslik, 21, a tailor, shot and killed himself. One of his brothers had a terrific struggle with him in an attempt to take his revolver away from him just before he killed himself."

ignoring likely mental problems, I figure if movies had been around in 1907 he'd have survived his 20s.
