Whereas my wife Polly has left my bed and board without any just cause: this is therefore to forbid all persons from harboring or trusting her on my account, as I shall pay no debt on her contracting after this date.

Ward Artlip

From Ontario County Chronicle 9 July 1902

While firing a large dynamite cracker on the morning of the Fourth, Ward Artlip, a Springwater boy, had his hand badly shattered. The firecracker, after being lighted, failed to explode within the time the boy thought it should require, and he picked it up to apply the second match. As he did so, it exploded, tearing his thumb badly and splitting it from the hand back to the joint, besides otherwise burning and injuring the hand.

Mrs. James Keihle

From Ontario County Times 23 April 1873

TRAGEDY IN DANSVILLE - On Thursday afternoon last, the 10th inst., Mrs. James Keihle, of Dansville, made an unsuccessful attempt to destroy her own life. The Express says that a razor was drawn across her throat several times, making serious and dangerous wounds, but from the effect of which it is hoped she will recover. The cause of this mournful act was temporary insanity, the result of a broken down and worn out constitution.

home on East Main street, this village, on Sabbath morning last, of 
heart failure, at the age of 69 years. Mrs. Dibble was a native of West

Mrs. Dibble was a noble type of Christian character, and was a member of 
the Lima Presbyterian church, and was loved by all who knew her. She had 
a kind heart, and made everyone welcome in her beautiful home. Besides 
this, she thought everything of her children, and so did the children of 
their mother. She is survived by two sons, William L. and Edward F. 
Dibble, both of our village; also a sister, Miss Amelia Smith of East 
Bloomfield. Services at the home, Tuesday. The Rev. A. K. Bates

suicide at the Lake Short House at Hemlock Lake, last Sunday night by 
taking poison.

Two suicides occurred in Livingston county on Tuesday night of last 
week. The first was William Fraser, a highly respected citizen of 
Fowlerville and at one time postmaster. He was about seventy years old, 
and married his second wife about three months ago. Domestic infelicity 
is said to have been the cause of the suicide.

The second unfortunate affair occurred at Dansville, and in this case 
the deceased was a highly estimable young lady. A disappointment in love 
impelled her to commit the fatal act. Arsenic was the means used.
