This is what I have on this case/affair:
"Violence again erupted in 1892, when one of the Indian soldiers Corporal Larry Fun, Geronimo's cousin, committed an attempted homicide/suicide. Fun, married a young woman, his second wife, in 1891 about the time he had joined Company I. During the marriage's early stages, Wotherspoon [Lieutenant William Wotherspoon, Mount Vernon's commander] stated that Fun had severely whipped his bride and both times the officer reprimanded the soldier. Almost a year later Fun suspected his young wife of having an affair. An investigation led by Wotherspoon and Geronimo however, determined she was innocent of the charges. Wotherspoon notified the Corporal of the inquiry's conclusions, and Fun appeared satisfied with the results. The day prior to the incident, Wratten, the Apaches' interpreter, noted that Fun again appeared depressed. He brought the couple to his office, and the translator's dissatisfaction with the conversation led to the request that Geronimo, as the Indian village's justice of the peace and as a relative, speak to Fun.
The three Apaches met for two hours that evening, and Geronimo later confided to Wratten that Fun's trouble was in his head, not with the spouse. The next day [March 8/1892] Fun shot his wife in a bout of depression. Thinking she was dead, he turned the rifle on himself. The woman survived, but since Chiricahua culture believed women were liable for their marital relationships, members of Fun's family held her responsible for his death.

Larry Fun did commit suicide in Mount Vernon, Alabama and he is buried at the Mobile National Cemetery. His name is misspelled as Lanny Fun, March 8,1892. Jasper Kanseah Sr., did not commit suicide. He made it to Mescalero, NM with the rest of the Chiricahuas in 1914. He lived in White Tail and died in Mescalero in 1959.
