OBITUARY of Alice Ann Holbrook, from Wendell Irrigationist, January 5, 1928, Wendell, Gooding County, Idaho
Headline: Pioneer laid to rest.
Sub-Head: Mrs. L. M. Holbrook ends life by drinking ether at her farm home Saturday. Wife of prominent farmer and businessman moved her in 1910.
Funeral services for Alice Ann Holbrook, wife of L. M. Holbrook prominent farmer and businessman were held this afternoon from the Methodist Church with Rev. H. Fryer conducting the services. Interment was made in the Wendell Cemetery. Pall bearers were: Fred Lawton, H. J. Hughes, S. A. Lane, C. A. Dunham, B. E. Dyar and X. W. Foote. Business in Wendell was suspended during the services and the cortege of mourning friends was the largest ever seen in the community.
Mrs. Holbrook passed away Saturday afternoon. Her lifeless body was found Saturday evening when Mr. Holbrook returned home after closing up his business in town. Dr. Simonton was called and found that death was due to the effects of ether taken internally. As near as could be ascertained Mrs. Holbrook had drunk about an ounce and a half of ether. A 2 oz. bottle of ether was about a quarter full and found on the table.
Mrs. Holbrook was of a very nervous temperament and was subject to nervous spells that practically amounted to break-downs, and at such times would become very despondent. (It is believed) that she was suffering from nervous despondency Saturday, probably worse than usual, which more than likely affected her mind seems to account for her having taken the ether. A letter which she left addressed to her family bore this out.
Alice Ann Sauger was born at Quincy, Illinois in 1873, and was at the time of her death 55 years of age. In 1893, she was united in marriage to L. M. Holbrook at Corning, Iowa. In 1910 Mr. and Mrs. Holbrook and their family located at Wendell on a farm East of town, where they have since made their home.
Mrs. Holbrook was an active member of the Methodist Church and also an active member of the Hillendale Club. Her sudden death is a distinct shock to her family and her host of many friends who extend their deepest sympathy to the bereaved family.
She is survived by three daughters: Mrs. Delcia Bascom, Detroit, Michigan; Mrs. Petrel Clark, North Platte, Nebraska; Mrs. Frank Geisler of Wendell, and one son Emil of Covina, California.
