 It was a sad affair that called James Lasbury and son, Clarence, and MT. and Mrs. Frank Lasbury to Broad Brook last Saturday to attend the funeral of Mrs. Bert Wiley, a relative of theirs, who committed suicide by drowning Thursday morning. MT. and Mrs. Wiley are both quite we'll know here, having spent two successive Fourth of July's with MT. and Mrs. James Lasbury, and MT. Wiley was here only week ago Sunday. Mrs. Will ley has had the sole care of her parents, both invalids, one being entirely helpless and the other nearly so. The hard work given them that their care necessitated, and the long continued strain to which she was subjected had no doubt affected her mind, and while temporary insane she arose from her bed between three and four o'clock last Thursday morning. leav- ing her husband asleep, and partially dressing herself, went to Butternut pond and threw herself into the water where it was about thirty feet deep. Both MT. and Mrs. Wiley are among Broad Brooks most highly respected residents He is shipping clerk at the mill and his wife has been one of the most popular young ladies of that village. The sad occurrence has cast gloom over the entire commu- nifty.
