• Notes

  Last Saturday evening, Jacob Wolfe, a laborer of Preston, committed suicide by swallowing a quantity of carbolic acid. He was much addicted to the use of liquor, but when sober was a steady and reliable workman. No reason can be assigned for the rash act. Waterloo County Chronicle 23 Sep 1897 pg 3
