She Grieved for Her Baby,
Prairie du Chien, Wis., Aug. 22 — Mrs. Louis Caya committed suicide tonight by swallowing two ounces of carbolic acid. She had sent a sister to a druggist during the afternoon where the acid was procured. Together with the sister they prepared the evening meal and the woman then went to a room, where she locked herself in and took the acid. She was about twenty years old and a little daughter had died a few days before over which she grieved and which is the only known cause for the rash act.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows this is Virginia who is buried in the St. Gabriel Cemetery in Prairie du Chien. She was born Sept. 8, 1879.
