Walnut Valley Times, December 26, 1902, Volume XXXIII, Number 49
KIMBALL:  Died, December 21, Miss Minnie Kimball, aged about 28 years. Deceased 
was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jasper Kimball. She has been in ill-health and 
often suffered to such an extent as to prompt her to self-destruction which she 
tried once or twice before. Yesterday she succeeded and hanged herself to a bed 
post with a strip of muslin twisted tightly about her neck. She had dwelt upon 
this method of suicide and mentioned several times that she had read of it. Her 
parents and the family knew of this tendency and had watched her carefully. She 
was believed to be improving in health after a surgical operation some three 
months ago and her recovery was deemed very probable. She assisted in the house 
work as usual yseterday, made the beds upstairs and otherwise aided her mother. 
About 9 a.m. she suggested that she would change her apron and went up stairs 
to do so. Shortly after her brother sought and found her in one of her 
brothers' rooms leaning face down on a strip of muslin fasten to the bedpost, 
dead.
