The community was greatly shocked and sadden Friday when it was learned that Mrs. John Tieden had taken her own life by hanging. Mr. Tieden had left her at home early in the morning when he made a trip to their farm northeast of town. When he returned about 10:30 he found her lifeless body hanging in the basement. Mrs. Tieden had mourned the loss of their son, who met an accidental death about 16 months ago and had brooded over this tragedy and it is thought that this was the cause of her rash act.
