McLURE, Agnes
Another Suicide
Coroner Wilhelm held an inquest on the body of Agnes McLure, No. 286 Tenth-avenue, who committed suicide by taking an over dose of laudanum. From the testimony of her husband and daughter, it appears she had been in the habit of partaking rather freely of liquor. She had often threatened to take her life by drowning. Last Sunday she told the family that she would not be with them the next. After taking the laudanum, which, it appeared, had been drank in the street, she came into the house, sat down beside the bed, and commenced to vomit. She was put to bed, and fell into a sleep, from which she never awakened. Before being put to bed she bid her daughter good bye. The New York Times, June 8, 1855. Transcribed by Melissa.
