Montgomery - Nellie
Source: Crawfordsville Daily Journal Wednesday, 31 January 1894
Last night at Linden, Nellie Montgomery, who is residing with the family of Evan Shelby, attempted to commit suicide in the absence of the family by swallowing an ounce of chloroform. The family returned in time to summon a doctor, who pumped her dry and saved her life. The girl had left a note on the stand saying she was tired of life and had no friends. – thanks so much to “S” – one great typist
