The Portland Observer, Thursday, December 16, 1915

Miss Minnie Leik, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leik, who, two months ago 
today, in a violent fit of insanity, saturated her clothing with kerosene and 
set fire to it in an attempt to end her life and thereby escape commitment to 
the Traverse City hospital, died from her burns at 4:30 Wednesday afternoon.  
Miss Leik was 23 years of age and was born in Westphalia township, coming to 
Portland with her parents about three years ago.  She is survived by her 
father and mother, a sister, Mrs. Mary Wixie, of Williamsbridge, N.Y., and 
four brothers, William and John, of Portland, and Henry and Alfred, of 
Seattle, Wash.

The funeral services are to be held at St. Patrick church Saturday morning.  
Rev. John A. Koelzer will officiate and burial will take place in Portland 
cemetery.
