Heart broken over the sudden death
of her mother and feeling that life had
nothing further to offer her, Miss Flor
ence Wohlgemuth took her own life
at her home, No. 612 Iowa avenue, yes
terday afternoon, within twenty hours
after the death of her mother.
The young girl was possessed OF
great business ability and personal
charm and had been connected with
J the management Of the Peoples Store,
in which she and her mother were fl
nancially interested and of which her
brother-in-law has been the head since
the death Of the girls father two years
ago. During the absence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Erich on business trip to New
York, she had been in charge Of the
business.
OF a cheerful disposition nothing UNI
usual was noticed in her mien until
after the death Of her mother which
occurred at s o'clock Saturday night.
Mrs. S. Wohlgemuth had been in i'll
health for several months and had
been more feeble of late but her death
came as shock to her family. Mr..

While further arrangements were in
progress on Sunday Miss Flora inti-
mated that she, too, would soon die.
and gave some scattered instructions
as to her shroud and the disposition
of some Of the effects held dearest to
her But no attention was paid to it.
About two o'clock in the afternoon she
directed the ladies who were in the
home to go, one in this direction, an
other in that and the last to the tele-
phone. Then, left alone on the dayen-
port in the dining room she met death
Emptying the contents of a vial the
carbolic acid was quickly absorbed in
her system, meeting little resistance
on account of the fasting which the
girl had undergone.
DR.. W. Penquite was hastily summon
ed and later Drs Livermorc ard
tie ands Doctor Baze hurried to the
rescue but all in vain. After two hours
of suffering the young woman expired.
The two bodies lie at the family
home awaiting shipment tomorrow
morning to st. Louis for burial. Fu-
neral arrangements were not complet-
ed today owing to the delay in the ar
rival OF Jack Wohlgemuth, brother
and son of the dead women, who was
summoned from Chicago to Chickasha
and instead OF arriving here this morn
ing as expected, will not reach the city
