Notes
a. Note:   Obituary: Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette, Thursday, September 20, 1917 MRS. WILLIAM AUGUSTINE COMMITS SUICIDE WITH RAZOR BLADES AND KNIFE Temporary insanity is believed to have been responsible for the suicide of Mrs. William Augustine, age 57 years, who slashed herself fatally Wednesday with razor blades and a knife at her home in Center Point. It is thought that, she committed the deed shortly after noon, for she left a neighbors house where she had spent the forenoon, at 11:30 a. m. to prepare dinner for her son and the dishes used in the noon meal were unwashed. The body was discovered at 6 p.m.,when Mr. Augustine returned from his business duties. Pinned to a chair was a note bearing this inscription, "Olive, go back home quick and take papa and Dove. People blame me for all. I didn't understand. I am to blame." Olive is a daughter and Dove is a son of Mr. Augustine. Mrs. Augustine had a good home and so far as was known had little to worry about. It is said that she had been acting strangely for some time, and Wednesday morning had declared she was feeling "blue" and that she had lost all her friends.
