DEEP MYSTERY SHROUDS DEATH OF HAINES WOMAN
Mrs. Alice Savage of Haines Vicinity Takes Own Life
APPARENTLY SHE WAS TIRED OF LIVING
SWALLOWED BICHLORIDE OF MERCURY AND SUFFERED AGONIES OF DEATH TWO DAYS AND A HALF WHEN DEATH BROUGHT RELIEF
Apparently without cause other than to end her existence and thereby relieve herself of the burdens of this life, Mrs. Alice Savage, formerly Alice Pearson took bichloride of mercury Sunday at noon and from that time until early this morning has been dying. At the time of committing the deed Dr. Roger Biswell of Haines was in the vicinity of the farm and answered the call of her relatives within ten minutes of the time but to no avail.
Mr. Joe Savage, father-in-law of the young woman when asked this morning what was the cause of her desperate deed said: "I do not know but think that the poison was taken with intent at suicide."
Mrs. Savage was married to her husband Ira Savage two years ago in Haines and since that time has lived on Little Muddy Creek, her present home. The deceased was 22 years old and is the mother of one little boy, Eugene Savage. Her former home was in Union county where her parents and relatives now live.
The deceased is mourned by her immediate family and her father-in-laws family, also by a mother and father, two brothers and three sisters, all of whom live in Union county.
The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon in Haines. Burial will be in the Haines cemetery.
She was the wife of Ira Neal Savage.
