The Franklin Democrat, Friday, September 5, 1890, Volume XXXI Number 11, page 3 column 3
An Indianapolis dispatch says:  Sarah Alice Whittaker, aged 19, who lived with J. W.
Haggerty, at 162 
English Ave., committed suicide Monday by taking arsenic.  She was engaged to W. H.
Haggard, a 
Big Four yardman, to whom she left a note saying she hoped that he would get a good
wife. She had 
frequently talked of suicide and only a short while ago told her affianced that she
would not remain in 
the world long. Her sufferings were intense.  She had previously, from evidences,
attempted suicide 
by hanging, and a clothes line was found under the mattress of her bed. She formerly
lived at 
Morgantown where her brother and sister now reside.
