Ella Hewitt. Aged Is. Broods Over Mother S
Death. and Takes Own Life.

Foxcroft, May 15.-Ella Hewitt. a
school teacher, aged IS years, com
mitted suicide by taking dose of
laudanum, Wednesday night, at her
fathers home. That day Miss Hewitt
came up to Dover and Foxcroft and
while here purchased the laudanum
Wednesday evening, she did not go to
church to the weekly prayer meeting
but retired early. When her people re-
turned from church they supposed her
asleep, but instead, in the morning
they found her barely alive, she having
taken the poison during the night. AT
o'clock A. NJ. she died.
Miss Hewitt's mother died a short
time ago, and she had brooded over heI
loss very much. This fact, together
with nervous prostration and general
i'll health. had made the young woman
temporarily insane. She was of a very
quiet and retiring disposition and much
beloved by her friends. Her father
and brother survive her.
