A Tragic Suicide
Miss Ethel Greenbank, of Alleghany, Sierra county, committed suicide at the William Tell House in Sacramento on August 24, by shooting herself with a pistol. Miss Greenbank was a niece of C. B. Misley at Loomis, Placer county, and she had been visiting with Mr. Misley's family until within a few days before she committed the rash act.
She left a note in her room addressed to "Papa and Mamma" which read: "Fate is more than cruel. It should have allowed me to do this long ago, when I might have died happy." A paper with the name and address, "T.B. Misley, Loomis, Cal.," was also found on the table. Mr. Misley left for Sacramento immediately on hearing of the occurance and arranged to have the remains sent to her parents in Allegahany. She was a native of Sierra county and 20 years of age. She had been employed as a bookkeeper at Angel's Camp until recently, and owing to ill health was compelled to give up her position.
Mr. Misley thinks that the deed was committed in a moment of temporary insanity caused by worry on account of poor health.
