A Pinckney Woman Commits Suicide

Between 9 and 10 o'clock last Thursday night Mrs. George Collins, wife of George Collins, who is in the meat business at Pinckney, left her home, and during a fit of insanity threw herself into the mill race, where the water was five feet deep. Members of family state that when last seen at home she was reading at 9 o'clock and upon the return of Mr. Collins from business at 10 o'clock he missed her and search was at once instituted. Her body was not discovered until late Friday morning, after the water had been lowered several feet. She was of a cheerful disposition and although she had complained of a severe headache during the day nothing unusual was noticed in her actions. Mrs. Collins was 31 years of age and leaves a family of seven small children, the eldest being 14 and the youngest, twins, only one year of age.
