gotten up in the morning when the suicide occurred, but Mr. Gore had gotten up and 
on coming down said, “Where are my gum boots, Jennie?” she answered pleasantly, 
“Why, they’re out in the mill,” and further remarked, “you called me when I was 
in my best sleep.”   Mr. Gore then went out to the mill, where he and his engineer, 
who are the only regular hands in the mill, started out of the mill to go rabbit 
hunting, as there was snow on the ground.  Mr. Gore went to the house for his 
ammunition, saw nothing of Jennie but thought nothing of it, as he thought she was 
out feeding the chickens, etc.  He went hunting and returned at 8 o’clock, when he 
found his wife hunting Jennie.  His engineer went out to start the mill.  It had 
hardly started when it came to a sudden stand-still, and was found to have been 
stopped by the body of the dead girl.  Neighbors came hastily to the house and a 
jury was summoned, composed of ex-Judge Jesse Daily, foreman; Harvey Palmer, John 
Wilhelm, William Wilson, McK. Morris, Samuel Wilhelm, Mr. Haslet, Benj. McGee, Wm. 
Baker, Joshua Palmer, Elisha Ebersole.  Dr. Jos. S. Baldwin examined the body and 
testified that there were no marks of violence, or anything other than what was 
done by falling and the machinery.  J. P. Lewis and M. Palmer summoned the jury.  
The jury rendered the verdict that Miss Cooper cam to her death by voluntary 
suicide.
