KREADY, CATHERINE B.
(13 Oct 1905, Sayre Newspaper, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. Crady Suicides.
Just as we go to press we learn that Mrs. Crady (sic), who lives just
north of town, committed suicide about 9 o'clock this morning by hanging
herself.  The children of whom there were three, had gone to school, and
Mr. Crady was temporarily absent from the house, when she shut herself in
the chicken house and ended her life.
Mrs. Crady had returned only yesterday from Kansas City, where she had
been for some time undergoing medical treatment.  Her mind was unbalanced
at times, and it is supposed that it was so when she committed the rash
act.
Weary of life that was filled with sickness and suffering so intense as to
derange her mind, to her no doubt death seemed a relief.  Let charity deal
gently with her memory, for are we not told that "not a sparrow falleth to
the ground but our Heavenly Father sees it."
(19 Oct 1905, Sayre Headlight, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Mrs. J. Kready committed suicide last Friday morning by hanging herself. 
She had been in poor health for several years and had just returned from
Kansas City, where she had been taking treatment and was pronounced much
better, and while the family were temporarily absent Friday morning took
the above method of ending her suffering.
(19 Oct 1905, Thursday, Elk City Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Judge Andrews, of Sayre, 'phoned Dr. H. Riley, the coroner, last Friday of
the finding of Mrs. Crady hanging in an out-house at her home north of
Sayre.  Dr. Riley instructed Judge Andrews to hold an inquest over the
body if circumstances warranted such investigation.
