Roe, Cora Vernon -
A particularly sad death was that of Mrs. Cora Vernon Roe, of Corning. Mrs. Roe, better known thru out Adams and Taylor counties as Cora Vernon, hung herself at the Charles Coulter garage Monday at about noon.

She recently returned to Corning from Seattle, Wash., where she was divorced from her husband, A. Roe, whom she married about a year ago. Mrs. Roe was a refined charming woman past middle age when she married and the fact that the marriage proved most unhappy so preyed upon her sensitive nature that she could not stand the strain and took her own life.

All Corning and surrounding territory sorrows at the tragedy. Mrs. Roe was a sister of E, M. Vernon, of the Okey-Vernon National bank and was staying at his home when the tragedy occurred.
