Hillsdale Whig Standard, August 21, 1849
A SAD WORLD - The Racine Advertiser of the 8th, gives the particulars of a 
suicide in that city, on Thursday evening of last week.  A young lady from 
Milwaukie, intellegent and of professing manners, as we learn, committed 
suicide at Congress Hall, by the use of poisons, from the effect of which she 
died on Saturday morning.  To the physician who was called, she gave her name 
as Mary Jane Collins, and assigned as the cause of her act, the villainly of a 
young Man of Milwaukie, by whom she had been seduced under a promise of 
marriage, and then basely and wickedly abandoned to shame.  To conceal her 
shame, and end her sorrows, she sought the refuge of the grave.
