Yeagley - Cora
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 17 May 1901
Thorntown Argus: Word has been received here that Miss Cora Yeagley, formerly of this place, died very suddenly in her new home at Bunker Hill. We learned on Tuesday from H. W. Bacon, a St. Louis traveling man the main facts. Mr. Bacon had been selling goods to Mr. Yeagley and not long after the latter told him that his daughter was found in her room at the hotel in a dying condition. She had taken an overdose of morphine and was at death’s door when Mr. Bacon left. Two or three hours effort on the part of the physicians were unavailing. -s
