The community was both panied and
shocked to learn of the death by suicide OF
Mrs. Dennis Hines, which occurred Thurs
day morning. Dennis went to the cream
ery with the milk as usual, taking his son
with him. On their return they found the
house locked and upon further investiga-
ton discovered the lifeless body of Mrs.
Hines hanging from an apple tree in the
orchard. She had been in very poor health
for long time and it was probably during
a fit of melancholy resulting from her dis
ease that she took her life. Mrs. Hines
was of very quiet and unobtrusive dispo-
sition, but was loved and respected by all
who knew her. She was 80 years old. The
funeral was from her late home at o'clock
Saturday, Rev. Eldridge officiating. Mr..
Hines has the sympathy of everyone in the
great aff1iction that has befallen him.
