Committed Suicide
On Friday evening, December 7, Mrs.
Maria Peterson, aged 52 years, wife of
Casper Peterson, living two miles south
of Lindsay, was found by her husband
hanging in the barn with a rope about
her neck, having already been visited by
the angel of death.
The coroner was called and a jury em
panelled, consisting of six of our towns
men, which rendered the verdict that she
came to her death by a wilful act of her
own hand.
Appropriate services weie held in the
Danish Lutheran church of Looking
Glass on Sunday at 10 o'clock a. ul, and
the body interred in the Danish ceme
tery at that place.
Mrs. Peterson leaves a husband and
three step-children to mourn her strange
and sudden desth, that came so unex
pected to everybody, as she had never
shown any signs of desiring to take her
own
life. It was a great shock to the
entire community-and the cause of the
