 Virginian Pilot and The Norfolk Landmark July 28, 1934

                GIRL FOUND DEAD ON GOLF COURSE FROM POISON DOSE

    Miss Alice E. Eberly, 23, Apparently Ended Life Late Thursday; Left Note

Miss Alice Earle Eberly, 23, daughter of Ralph H. Eberly, general freight agent 
for the Seaboard Air Line Railway and Mrs. Roberta Hyslop Eberly, was found dead 
yesterday at noon in a clump of bushes near the 18th hole of the Lakewood Golf 
Course at the foot of Shenandoah Street and was reported by the police as having 
committed suicide by drinking a poison she is believed to have mixed herself.
In a note found in her purse, lying close to the body, Miss Eberly asked her 
parents' forgiveness for the act which she stated was "not due to anything I am 
shamed of." It also assured the parents that she would die "without pain or 
suffering," in calling attention to the fact that she had been studying 
chemistry for some time, leading police to believe she had personally prepared 
the fatal potion.
Miss Eberly was a native and lifelong resident of Norfolk and was widely known.  
She was a member of Larchmont Methodist Episcopal Church. Besides her parents, 
she is survived by a brother, Ralph Dunbar Eberly. Funeral services will be held 
at the residence 1001 Larchmont Crescent, tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. 
Interment will be private in Elmwood Cemetery.
