ENDS HER LIFE
      IN HOTEL ROOM

Woman, Separated From Husband,
   Found Dead From Overdose of 
      Oil of Tansy.

   Pontiac, Mich., October 29. – An overdose of oil of tansy caused the 
death of Mrs. Eva Tripp at the Hotel Columbia late last night. The woman 
had been employed as a waitress at the Hotel Hodges, but yesterday 
afternoon registered at the Columbia as Miss Kremer, and was assigned to a
 room. About 11 o’clock Proprietor W. C. Cavender was attracted by groans 
from the room and called a physician. The woman died before the physician 
reached her. A half empty bottle of oil of tansy was found among her 
effects, and a post mortem this morning revealed that the drug was the 
cause of death. Mrs. Tripp had separated from her husband, Roy Tripp, but 
was not divorced. Coroner Farmer empaneled a jury, and will conduct an 
inquest Saturday morning. Mrs. Tripp was the daughter of George Raymond, of
 Hope, Mich., and had been here about six months.—Detroit Free Press, 
October 30.
   Miss Eva Raymond was united in marriage to Roy Tripp in August, 1907, at
 Hope by Rev. J. Brainard Brown and both young people are well known in 
Midland County. The body was brought to Midland Wednesday evening.
