Source: Nappanee Advance-News 21 July 1897

At Roachdale, Mrs. Effie Edwards (nee Carpenter), wife of Albert Edwards, took a rifle unobserved out into the orchard and shot and killed herself at the home of her father-in-law James U. Edwards. She had been in ill health and despondency bordering on insanity is probably the cause of the suicide. They are prominent people there.
