  9. ↑ SUICIDE
    One of those melancholy cases of suicide occurred in this city Sunday night last. Mrs. Henry Jones who resides on West st., near railroad st., was found Monday morning lying beside the railroad track, a few rods west of the gas factory with one side of her head crushed, her body lying three feet from the rail, no injuries were found on her body. As we are informed by one of her family, the deceased has been ill for the past four months, and of late has become melancholy and despondent. Sunday evening about 8 o'clock her husband and son helped her from her bed to a lounge while her bedding was being changed, she being so feeble as to be unable to leave her bed or walk across the room without help. About (?) o'clock the family retired. About one o'clock in the morning her husband discovered she had left the bed; not finding her in the room or house, he and his son searched about the streets without success. The engineer of the early morning freight from the west first discovered the body lying beside the track. How she got from her house to the place where found, nearly half a mile unassisted through the streets, the track being several rods from the street, and in the darkness of the night is unaccountable.
    It is supposed she was killed by the 11 p.m. train going west Sunday night, as no other train passed either way from the time she was known to be at home until she was discovered. The coroner's jury are summoned to meet last evening after the STANDARD went to press. The engineer and fireman on the west bound train being summoned to appear, although they have no knowledge of the sad affair, and find no marks of evidence on their engine.
    She was 53 years old, and leaves a husband, one son and two daughters, the son and one daughter, about 14 years old residing at home, the eldest daughter, Mrs. C. Strunk resides in Crawford county. The funeral will take place from the family residence this Tuesday afternoon.

    "Mrs. Henry Jones, of this city, who has been a great sufferer from severe sickness during the last four months, in a fit of mental abberation arose from her bed on Sunday night last unobserved by the members of her family and wandered upon the railroad track near her home and was instantly killed by a passing train. The coroner's verdict was in accordance with the above facts. Mrs. Jones was 53 years old and leaves a husband and three children to mourn her untimely death. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at her late residence on West Street, Rev. I.B. Card officiating." - Hillsdale Leader
