Mrs. George Muma Takes Poison and Dies Soon After
Mrs. Emma Muma, living nine miles west of the county garage, died Wednesday about noon, after taking poison a couple hours before, believed due to melancholia over a life that had been hard, and the prospect of her two boys at home leaving for the army.
Mr. Muma suffered a paralytic stroke several years ago and has been unable to do very much since that time, Mrs. Muma and the boys keeping the home together by going out on the plains and cutting kindling wood, picking berries, raising a few chickens, hogs, etc.
Mrs. Muma was 52 years of age and is survived by her husband and several children, the two boys, aged 17 and 19, being the only ones at home. Wednesday morning about ten o'clock, Mrs. Muma took a bottle of Creoline, used in their chicken house, and standing in front of the stove started drinking it. The boys and Mr. Muma jumped up and took it from her and rushed to a neighbors, from where a doctor was called, but she was dead before aid reached her.
From neighbors comes the word that Mrs. Muma was a good neighbor, thoughtful and willing to offer her services wherever needed. Details of her funeral have not been completed.
