MRS. SEYBOLD COMMITS SUICIDE
Former Fort Wayne Lady Kills Herself and Daughter
Had Grown Despondent from Ill Health -- The Family Once Resided Here
Mrs. Bernard Seybold killed herself and her little five-year-old daughter, Esther, at her home in Chicago Monday. A telegram was received yesterday by Mrs. Andrew Hofel, of Lakeside, a half sister of the dead woman, telling of the sad affair. Almost at the same hour Mrs. Hofel received a telegram telling her of the serious sickness of a grandchild in Muncie.
Mrs. Seybold was a resident of Fort Wayne until about twelve years ago. Her husband, Bernard Seybold, was also a resident of this city for a long time and was quite well known. Many will remember him when he was employed in Julius Nathan's liquor store. His mother, Mrs. Josephine Seybold, resides on Home avenue, and left for Chicago when she received a message announcing the sad deaths.
The Chicago Tribune of Tuesday contained the following account of the deaths:
"A haunting fear of illness, it is believed, drove Mrs. Sadie Seybold to kill her five-year-old daughter and herself in their house at 315 School street yesterday. Wrapped in a blanket, the bodies were found on the kitchen floor. Every jet in the gas range had been opened and the air was deadly with the fumes when neighbors broke into the house. Both mother and daughter were then beyond medical aid.
When two of the younger children of the Seybold family returned from school at noon they found the doors and windows locked. Fearing that something had happened to their mother, they ran to the house of Mrs. Katherine Obervillig, 1756 North Hoyne avenue, and told her they could not get into their home. In the morning, the children told Mrs. Obervillig, their mother had been ill and acting queerly.
The woman summoned John Haut, 1751 North Hoyne avenue, and he went to the Seybold house. The odor of gas was detected at once and the children were given money with which to buy some cake the then the man and woman went to the kitchen.
Neighbors Find the Bodies.
There the bodies of Mrs. Seybold and her child were found. It is believed the woman waited until her child had fallen asleep, then turned on the gas and lay down to die.
Bernard Seybold, the husband and father of the victims, is a compoundor employed by a distilling company. He would not talk of the case. "My little Esther was such a good girl and the constant companion of her mother," was all he would say.
The woman had been despondent at intervals, neighbors say, and had declared that if she ever died she wanted her little daughter with her."
