• Notes

  MRS. EDLER'S SUICIDE ! Elora, April 18.-During a temporary fit of insanity Mrs. George Edler of the township of Pilkington, near Bethel, wandered from her home Saturday last. A futile search for her was made until today, when it was found that she had been drowned in a creek which runs through the Edler farm. The body was discovered by a neighbor, Mr. Moses Auger. There is every reason to believe it was a case of suicide. She leaves a husband and family of five, the youngest being about ten years of age. The Orangeville Banner, Thu, Apr 22, 1909 Page 6
