The Brookville Democrat
April 6, 1911
Dastardly deed
Joseph Brookley's splendid start in the poultry business has met a sad reverse.
A week ago Sunday he found his hens lying about the yard, suffering greatly. A veterinarian was called but could do nothing and the fowls died.
Some of the grain in their craws was sent to the state chemist for examination and the report just received states that the grain had been soaked in nitric and carbolic acids.
Brookley's loss is near a hundred dollars.
The utter, horrible heartlessness of the wretch who did the dastardly deed, the cruelty and depravity of a heart that could conceive such an act indicates a creature in human form too vile for language to picture.

Frank Biltz, Will Fries, Geo. Geis and Joe Brookley broke camp near the home of S.B. Templeton last Monday after a delightful week's sojourn angling for the finny tribe. The boys claim to have had their hearts lacerated by the handsome young ladies in Fairfield and will angle on dry land in the near future.

Joseph Brookley, who has been a resident of Brookville all his life, died Saturday evening, May 12, at the Poor Asylum at the age of 42 years. Interment in Maple Grove Cemetery.
NOTE: Joe did not live his entire life in Brookville. We have proof of it. He was also the first president of the Brookville Eagles lodge in 1905.
