Kills Self With Acid ----- Katie B. Bartlett, former postmistress at peacock deranged by illness |
|
Miss Katie B. Bartlett, 48, former
postmistress at Peacock, took her life Tuesday morning while mentally
unbalanced by illness. She drank a
mixture of carbolic acid and paris green and died
within a few hours. Miss Bartlett has been in ill health for
some years and since December first last year, has been frequently confined
to her bed. An ordinarily robust,
active woman, her illness irked her and preyed upon her mind, keeping her in
a highly nervous condition. Fearing
that her condition might lead to self-destruction, her niece, Mrs. Julius
Bahr, and Mr. Bahr kept her under constant observation, but Tuesday morning
while presumed to be lying down, she eluded them and escaped to the barn,
where she mixed and drank the deadly mixture. Her absence was discovered within a very
few minutes and a search was instituted, which led them to the lake at first,
but finding no tracks after the heavy rain that had ceased only a short time,
they searched the premises. Arthur C.
Johnson, mail carrier arrived and joined the search and they traced her to
the barn where she was found in a low hay mow, still living, but in desperate
condition. Emetics were administered
at once with good effect and she was carried to the house and Dr. Bray of The deed was carried out with the usual
acumen of persons temporarily deranged.
She used a cup of water at her bedside, poured it into a bottle,
filled the cup with paris green from the box in the
woodshed and carried it to the barn.
The cup with its mixture lay beside her but the acid bottle could not
be found, nor could Mr. or Mrs. Bahr conceive where she got it, as she had
not left the home in several months. Miss Bartlett was known far and wide as
a splendid cook, a fine business woman and a loyal and congenial friend. She was born in Girard, Beside these three, she is survived by
another niece, Mrs. Ralph (Ruth) Pew, two brothers, O. A. Bartlett of [See Contact: «] |

GEORGE BLASS TAKEN BY STROKE FRIDAY |
|
George Blass, former mayor of Baldwin, present chairman of the
Democratic county committee, and one of the best known figures in the life of
Mr. Blass was his usual cheerful self during the day, having
apparently shaken off a hard cold which developed symptoms of pneumonia. He
retired at his usual hour but called his daughters about Mr. Blass was widely known both through his association as a
baseball player over a decade or more, and as a manager of several hotels in
Western Michigan, but also as a keen businessman who put pep and urge into
any community of which he was a part. His intimate connection with An enthusiastic baseball fan, he was a familiar figure at every
game. In his youth and early manhood, he was behind the bat for many pitchers
of more than local fame. It was one of his favorite tricks to squat on his
haunches, apparently return the ball to the pitcher, and without looking in
that direction, zip the ball down to first base to catch an anwary(sic)
runner napping. He and Hank McCarthy of Fremont fame, "Neely"
Gerber, who after his rise to banker, canner and big business was called by
his full cognomen "Cornelius" were a
triumvirate that spelled trouble for any opposing team, in view of the fact
that the rule book was made up as one went along and any trick was permitted
if it worked. One day George and his pitcher were in rather a hot spot and
had a fast runner on first. George found a nice round potato which he
smuggled to the pitcher and kept the ball. The idea was to pitch the Murphy
to the batter and George would burn the ball down to second to nip the
stealing runner. It worked beautifully but as the potato squashed against the
backstop, George got to laughing so hard that the runner could have stolen
home without having the ball put on him. He played with the Walsh Folding Bed
Co. of Grand Rapids, back in the 80's, later with In the early 90's he went on the road selling hotel and bar
supplies for Dan Lynch of In Following his partial stroke several years ago, Mr. Blass
stopped cutting his hair and it grew to great lengths, a pure silvery shower
about his shoulders. Many tales were told about his hair, for most of which
he was drily responsible. Chief amomg
them was that he would not cut it, after His children by his first marriage to Christine Peterson, are Volney, a Funeral services were held at the home Sunday afternoon, the
Rev. D. J. Miller officiating and delivering a splendid eulogy. Pall bearers
were Charles Blood and Paul Vaught of Chase, George Bradford, Ray Trucks, R.J. Smith C.C. Davis of Attending from out of town were: Mr. and Mrs. Ben Brunke of Fountain, Mrs. Dora Bossett
