TRAGEDY AT OTRANTO

Mrs. Pike, wife of Fred Pike, living about five miles west of Otranto Station, committed suicide
by hanging herself yesterday afternoon. It is thought her suicide was due to temporary aberration of the mind as no other reason is known, the family were in good circumstances and there were no domestic troubles.

Mrs. Pike was about 25 years old and was a daughter of Wm. Nixon. They had been married four years and had three children.

[Lyle Tribune, Fri., Nov. 3, 1899, page 2]
