Mrs. John Ennis, aged 25, committed suicide early last Friday morning at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Eden, at Monte Ne by drinking carbolic acid. Death is thought to have been caused by undue excitement in connection with the birth of a daughter about two months ago. Her home life is said to have been unusually pleasant and the young husband and parents, as well as her many friends at Monte Ne and Lowell, were shocked at her tragic end. During a spell of despondency she arose early Friday morning and went to her husband's store and procured a bottle of carbolic acid and after drinking its contents started for home. The poison acted quickly and she fell to the ground as she entered the yard of her home. Medical aid was summoned but she died in agony two hours later. Funeral services were conducted at the home of her parents Saturday afternoon by the Rev. I.H. Burgess, pastor of the Christian church in Springdale, in the presence of a large number of loving friends. Interment was made in the McDaniels cemetery north of Lowell. Mrs. Ennis was born near Lowell in 1899 and was married to John Ennis a few years ago. Besides her husband and parents she is survived by 2 sisters and 3 brothers.
