WABASH COUNTY WOMAN SUICIDE

North Manchester, Nov. 7 -

   Funeral services for Mrs. Eva Keister, 56, who committed suicide by hanging at her home early today, will be held at 2 o’clock Friday afternoon at the Bender Funeral Home with Rev. Bert Hodges in charge. Burial will be in Pleasant Hill Cemetery, west of North Manchester.

   Mrs. Keister, who lived three miles north of town on the county line road, had been in ill health for some time. Coroner Todd Bender, who investigated, said that the woman was undoubtedly prompted to take her own life because of despondency. She had lived in the community for many years.

    Surviving is her husband, John Keister.
