Woman Takes life While Despondent A frightful tragedy was enacted in Ashland Sunday evening when Mrs. Edna Crouch, a local taxi-driver, in a fit of despandlcncy took her own life at her home on Church street by shooting Herself thru the temple with a revolver.

The family were assembled together in the dining room, when Mrs. Crouch came down, and entered he bathroom. Shortly after they were startled by hearing the report of a gun, and fearing a tragedy had been enacted Mr. Crouch rushed to tli) dooir to find It locked. He then summoned William Llndfiy, who re sides next door, and the two men (forced the bathroom door. Mrs. Crouch was discovered with a bullet in her brain, and she only breathed a few times after being found. Later investigations revealed a letter which the unfortunate woman had written, presumably whllo she was In her chamlier, Id which she arranged de tails foir her funeral.

Tho family came here about a year and a half ago from Canada, and Mr. Crouch purchased th'e Ashland garagb In company with Roy Hessenner, but later sold it to Merle Roblson.
