Morris Herald, Grundy Co IL, July 7, 1876
The sad intelligence reaches us of the death of Miss Maggie A. Irwin, of 
Seneca, one day last week, by her own hand, having deliberately taken poison 
for the purpose of self-destruction, and as report has it, rid herself of the 
unwelcome advances of a young man who sought her hand in marriage. Miss Irwin 
will be remembered by many of our citizens as a student of the Classical 
Institute during the time the institution was under the management of Prof. 
Dougherty. For two or three years she has been a teacher in the Seneca 
schools, and at the time of her death she was the presiding officer of the 
lodge of Good Templars of that town. She was a young lady of superior mind, 
always a leader in whatever was undertaken for the good of the community in 
which she resided and by all was she honored and esteemed. It is sad to think 
that one so young and so pure, one competent and qualified for doing so much 
of good in the world, should in such a manner be taken away.
