Norfolk Landmark June 25, 1901
Lilian Foutz, of Salem, Va., Committed Suicide Last Night.
A short time ago Lilian Foutz came here from Salem, Va. She had been led from 
the paths of rectitude and virtue and she saw nothing in life for her but the 
road which leads downward. Not caring to disgrace the name of her parents, she 
assumed the name of Mabel Paige when she arrived in Norfolk. The life she chose 
did not suit her; she mourned for the happiness of a quiet and peaceful 
existence at Salem, but feared to go home, not realizing that her mother would 
willingly receive her back to the old homestead. This fear resulted in drink and 
drink ended in the desire to take her life. This she accomplished last night.
At 6:30 o'clock she took a huge dose of opium and at an early hour this morning 
she breathed her last. The body was turned over to undertaker Smith and her 
parents were notified. The suicide took place at No. 16 Mosely street. The dead 
girl was 25 years of age.
