Saranac Woman Takes Own Life

Despondent over continued ill health, Mrs. Etta Wright, 79, Saranac, committed
suicide Sunday night by inhaling chloroform.  She was discovered about 9:30
Monday morning by William Draper in whose home she had an apartment.  Coroner
Harry Myers was called but since it was a clear case of suicide, no inquest was
held.

Mrs. Wright had built a hood about her head so the chloroform fumes could not
escape, and left a note in which she said that she had purchased the chloroform
herself because of the terrible headaches she suffered and which she deemed
“unbearable.”

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Sadie Tuttle of Belding and Mrs. Ariel
Russel of Lake Odessa.  Service was held from Fales Funeral Home in Belding,
Tuesday, with burial there.  Mrs. Wright had lived in Belding before going to
Saranac.

[Transcriber's Note:  There is a notation on the obituary card that she was
buried in Otisco Cemetery.]
