A Sad Death Mrs. John R. Lawrence Shoots Herself While Temporarily Insane


The friends of the family of Mr. John R. Lawrence, the well-known Granby 
Street, oyster packer, were shocked yesterday at the news that Mrs. Lawrence 
while in a condition of mental aberration had shot herself.
Mrs. Lawrence had been a great sufferer from neuralgia, and had been very 
despondent of late. There is hardly a doubt that her mind was unbalanced. 
The sad affair happened at 4 o’clock in the morning. Mr. Lawrence being 
awakened by the sound of a pistol shot. He found his wife dying. The bullet had 
entered the right side of her head near the temple.
The deceased lady was a women of many lovable traits and her death has 
prostrated her loving family and grieved her friends beyond expression. She was 
47 years old and leaves three children, a son and daughter at home and a 
daughter in Philadelphia.
