Suicide of a Former Resident

The Remington Press states that Mrs. Lizzie Bacon, who committed suicide at Gas City on Aug. 20, by taking carbolic acid, was a daughter of Gus Andrews, a shoemaker of Remington. She was 21 years old and had been married only 3 months. The family, including Lizzie, were formerly residents of Rensselaer, and at two different periods. The last time, which was only two or three years ago, they obtained a good deal of notoriety, and both Andrews and the girl Lizzie served terms in jail for keeping a disorderly house, on Smoky Row.
