Woman Hangs Self in Barn
The lifeless body of Miss Anna E. Bottensek, 61, Route 1, Vesper, was found hanging from a rafter in the granary on the farm of her brother, William, in the town of Hansen this morning.
Wood County authorities, after an investigation, held it to be a case of suicide. Dr. Harold G. Pomainville, coroner, said miss Bottensek had been dead several hours before her body was discovered by her brother, about 8 o'clock.
Funeral arrangements, in charge of Baker's, had not been completed this afternoon, pending notification of relatives in the east.
Miss Bottensek, who had been teaching in Montana, arrived only about a week ago to make her home with her brother. Members of the family said she had been despondent for some time.
After retiring to her room last night, she arose without disturbing the household and made her way to the loft of the granary. As authorities reconstructed the case, she placed a plank across two grain bins, stood on it to tie the rope to a rafter and, after attaching the other end about her neck, jumped from the plank. She was wearing a bathrobe and nightclothing when found.
