Mrs. George Flint takes her life with a
knife
Mrs. George Flint, aged about 35 took her
own life Friday morning having slashed her
throat with a Butch knife , it is stated to
this paper.
The Flints live on the S.G. Smith farm on
the Stone Road west of Melvin Ohio, but
last night Mrs. Flint had gone to the home
of her brother-in-law, Charles Athey, on the
McWilliams farm, not far from Reeseville,
and it was there that she took her own life,
according to the story told.
No reason for the deed is given, unless her
recent illness had affected her mind, but
this is not positively known. It is stated
that short time ago she was ill, but no
motive for her act is known, it is said.
She was the mother of five children it is
said, and it was because a little girl was
at Athey’s that she went there Thursday
night, this paper is told.
Corner Investigates
Corner Kinzel was called to make an
examination of the circumstances. He
declares that she inflicted the fatal would
in an outbuilding at the Athey home early
this morning and he states that she probably
did not live 30 seconds from the time she
pressed the knife to her throat, in spite of
the fact that the knife was not a sharp one.
The officer understands that Mrs. Flint has
been in ill health for some time and that
she has been under the care of a Sabina
physician and also a Port William physician
during recent months. He understands that
she made a similar but unsuccessful attempt
on her life a week or more ago, her dead
body was found by the Athey family possibly
15 minutes after she committed suicide. |
