Vera Ridenour Ends Her
by Taking Poison.
Vera, the 17-year old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. W. A. Ridenour of Harlan,
committed suicide about 5:30 Monday
evening by taking carbolic acid.
The only known reason for the rash
act was contained in a brief note
written, apparently, after she had
taken the poison, bidding her folks
"good bye" and "that she was tir9d of

the evening .meal, noticed that she
looked and acted strange but supposing
it due to some minor disorder, told her
she had better lie down for a while.
A younger sister coming into the room
soon after found her speechless. She
lived but a short time. An empty two

acid was found near her, she had
