We are informed that she had been cruelly abused by her husband who left here a year or two ago and received injuries which caused endless suffering and from which she did not recover. In a fit of desperation and to close her earthly troubles she took a quantity of carbolic acid. Dr. Stephenson was promptly summoned and administered antidotes, but the poison had gained such headway that she could not recover and death came to her relief on Sunday. The funeral took place Monday afternoon. She leaves a son, 4 years of age.
