    Notes:

    SUICIDE AT WINTERBOURNE

    Mrs. James Pirie Takes Her Life With A Razor

    A general gloom has been cast over the community in and around the village of Winterbourne, by one of the most sorrowful occurrences that ever happened in the neighborhood. About 4 p.m. on Saturday, Mrs. James Pirie committed suicide, by cutting her throat with a razor in the root cellar of their own barn. The deceased had undergone an operation some time ago at the Guelph Hospital and her condition was such as to necessitate another operation being performed in the immediate future. This had such a defecting effect upon the mind of Mrs. Pirie, as to render her despondent, she preferring to end her existence in the manner she did, to suffering another operation. The deceased lady was 54 years of age and has long been a highly respected member of the Presbyterian Church. The bereaved husband and family have the most sincere sympathy of the community. The funeral took place at 10 a.m., Monday.
