The Franklin Democrat, Friday, July 23, 1897, Volume XXXVIII, Number 2, page 2, column 4
Suicide of Mrs. Edwards.

The following dispatch from Roachdale will be of special interest to many in the
western part of Johnson 
County:

"Mrs. Effie Edwards, nee Carpenter, wife of Albert Edwards, took a rifle unobserved
out into the orchard and 
shot and killed herself at 3 o'clock at the home of her father-in-law, James U.
Edwards, near here.  She had 
been in ill health, and despondency bordering on insanity is probably the cause of
the suicide. They are 
prominent people here."

Albert Edwards conducted a store at Providence a year or so ago, and afterwards
moved the stock to 
Trafalgar.  He afterwards went on the road in the interest of Crouch & Son of
Lafayette, selling German Coach 
Stallions.  His wife's people live in Washington.

Additional Comments:
Note: The "Putnam County Indiana WPA Death Index, 1882-;1920", referencing Book H-3,
page 18, records 
that Epha Edwards, a 28 year old white female, died 14 Jul  1897 in
Carpentersville.
