From Nevada Representative July 12, 1910 (front page)

Miss Mollie Ryerson, grown daughter of Lewis Ryerson who lives of the township line northeast of Huxley, drank a large dose of concentrated lye Saturday and died from the consequences thereof on Monday morning. The young woman was 27 years of age and had been weak of mind for the past six months and taking treatment therefor at Story City. She returned home last Saturday and soon thereafter took the poison. When she fully realized what she had done she regretted it and said, "What made me do it?"
