GRIEF CLOUDS WOMAN'S MIND
Wife of Liege Police Head Commits Suicide
German "Kultur" in Belgium Too Much for Her

Pasadena, Nov. 6 - Mrs. Matilda Bouillon of No. 290 West Washington Street, a 
native of Belgium, committed suicide by shooting herself through the head, 
yesterday morning, death being practically instantaneous.  Despondency was the 
cause of this death, resulting from brooding over the German invasion of her 
native land.  In 1914 Mr. and Mrs. Boullion were living in Liege, he being the 
Prefect of Police.  After the war was well under way he brought his wife and 
young child to this country, where they joined a grown son and daughter, and he 
then returned to France.  A little later the child died, and grief over that 
death, worry about the danger in which her husband was living, and the horrors 
visited upon relatives and friends in Belgium, brought Mrs. Boullion to the 
state of dependency which she ended yesterday.  Deceased was 43 years old and 
leaves a widower and three children.
