Miss Annette Logan, of Manchester 

Takes Carbolic Acid

In a Fit of Despondency - Well Known Cleary College Student 

Miss Annette Logan, of Manchester, committed suicide at her home last Friday evening by taking a dose of carbolic acid. 

Miss Logan has for some time been a student at Cleary College, Ypsilanti. July 12 she visited her mother in Manchester, returned to Ypsilanti on Tuesday. Her friends noticed that she acted strongly and finally decided to call in a physician, fearing that her mind was becoming deranged. The physician made a careful examination and decided that the hard work she had been doing in the school together with the extreme heat of last week had affected her health and advised her to return to her home for a period of rest and recuperation. 

On Wednesday Miss Logan returned to Manchester and her friends were hoping that a few weeks would bring recovery as the relaxation seemed to do her so much good. Apparently she was no better, however, as last evening while alone in the house with her mother she took the fatal dose. 

Her friends are utterly at a loss to account for the deed otherwise than that it was the result of despondency over her illness and her inability to finished her course at Cleary college as soon as expected. 

Miss Logan was widely known in Manchester and was an estimable and lovable young lady, who enjoyed the esteem and respect of all who knew her. Besides her mother she leaves a sister and two brothers who are utterly prostate over their sudden bereavement.
