            Portland Shocked By Suicide Recently of Young Housekeeper
Portland, Nov. 1- The community here was shocked last Saturday when the news 
was broadcasted over the city that Miss Lena Munger, 30, had committed suicide 
by drinking a mixture of carbolic acid and led.

Miss Munger had been keeping house for her father, Curtis Munger, who works on 
a farm outside of Portland during the day. It was when he returned last Friday 
that he found his daughter on the bed in a semi-unconscious state.

Just before her death she stated that she drank the poison on account of having 
too much work to do. It is claimed by those who knew her that she was  subject 
to melancholy spells and would grow despondent. 

Aside from her father, she is survived by one brother, Charle Munger, and a 
sister, Mrs. Blanche Ezel, also of Portland.
