Sad Insanity Case.
Last Thursday afternoon, Mrs. E.
E. Margritz of Bristol township was
brought before the county board of
insanity, declared of unsound mind
and committed to the asylum at
Hastings. The unfortunate lady was
brought to town by her husband,
Elmer E. Margritz, accompanied by
his mother, his brother and a young
sister of his afflicted wife, all of
whom testified as to her mental con
dition. The testimony showed this
to be the third attack she has had,
one when a young girl, and was placed
in the asylum at Norfolk, from which
she was later discharged as cured,
another instance some four years ago,
after her marriage, and while living
in Dodge county, when she was com
mitted to the asylum at Lincoln,
from which she was discharged after
six months treatment. She seemed
all right till about two weeks since,
when she began to show signs of
mental disarrangement which has
been growing rapidly worse till two
or three days previous to her being
brought to town, when it culminated
in a series of troubles, in which she
attempted the life of her husband’s
mother, of her own, and threats of
injury to others around, when it was
found necessary to have her re-com
mitted to an asylum. Two children
have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Mar
gritz, the youngest or whom is some
five or six years of age, making the
mother's case especially sad to the
hushand and father, as well as to the
practically motherless children. It is
hoped, however, that the unfortunate
lady may yet recover her mentality
and be restored to home and loved
ones. She was taken to the asylum
at Hastings Friday morning by Sheriff
Williams, accompanied by Mrs. Mar
gritz, Sr.
