The death of Mrs. Ehlers is sad In every detail. A few weeks she took ill and as her actions showed her at times to not be of a sane mind, she was thought to be suffering from insanity, a few years ago she had suffered a spell, but was entirely cured. Under these conditions she was taken to the Longcliffe asylum at Logansport on Saturday, August 22..

All Whiting Is shocked by the ex tremely sad circumstance, and especially the husband, who always gave his wife the best of care when ill.
