YOUNG WOMAN COMMITS SUICIDE
 
Amanda Morrison Ends Her Life Saturday Afternoon
 
Miss Amanda Morrison in a state of despondency brought on by a life-time 
struggle against physical infirmaties and continued sickness, ended her life 
last Saturday afternoon by shooting herself in the head with a 39-caliber 
revolver.
 
The tragedy was first discovered by her brother, George Garvey, section 
foreman of the O. B. L. railroad, when he returned home from his work about 4 
o'clock.  He at once notified the authorities and Coroner H. T. Knight came 
down from New Plymouth, and after a thorough investigation decided that it was 
a clear case of suicide and that no inquest was necessary.
 
The deceased was 38 years of age, and had resided in Payette since last 
September, when she was brought here by her brother, following the death of 
her mother in Butte, Montana.  She had since made her home with Mr. and Mrs. 
Garvey at the railroad section house.  Relatives had no previous intimation 
that she was unusually despondent and for sometime previous to her death had 
seemed more cheerful than usual.  Mrs. Garvey was out of town on Saturday.
 
Funeral services were held at Lauer's Undertaking Parlors Monday morning, the 
remains being interred in Riverside cemetery.
