The sad news reached; Clarinda Wednesday morning about ten o'clock, of the suicide of Miss Eva Abbott at the home of her father, Rube Abbott, six miles north of Bedford, between nine and ten o'clock that morning. The news same as a shock to a great many Clarinda people for Miss Abbott was raised in this city and made this her home until very recent years, having a large number of friends here who were saddened by the word that she was dying.
Miss Abbott was in the bedroom alone, her brother being in an adjoining room, while Mrs Abbott was outside of the house not far away. The report of the 22 Calibre revolver, with which the unfortunate young woman took her life, was the first warning that the family had of the awful deed. One shot only was fired, the bullet entering near the temple, and the physician, who was at once called, gave the family no hope whatever for the young woman's recovery, The unfortunate young woman died yesterday afternoon at three o'clock and was laid to rest in the cemetery near Bedford at two this afternoon.
Until two years; ago Miss Abbott was employed at the central office of tha Rural Telephone Co. in this city - having been employed there two years. After leaving her work there she went to California where ahe spent six months, returning to the family home, near Bedford, where she has lived ever since. It is not known what motive she had in taking her life, but for some time she has been in poor health and this coupled with some mental trouble, no doubt caused her action. Word was received in this city Wednesday forenoon and Mrs. Alva Gorel, Miss Abbott's sister, started at once to Bedford. Miss Abbott was twenty-six years old and most of her life was spent in Clarinda, her parents having made this their home since 1859, except for eleven months in 1875 spent in California and eight months, three years later in Colorado.  Mr. Abbott was for many years a member of the city council of Clarinda and for some time acted as street commissioner. The sympathy of their many Clarinda friends is extended to Mr. and Mrs. Abbott and the other members of the family in this sad bereavement.
