Message Board Post:
Suicide is not a pleasant subject. Can anyone shed any light on the customs of the
1857/58's in how such a death would be handled and dealt with in those days. Further,
where would the person (In this case a young mother) have been buried? Inside the
cemetery - or outside? Would there be a record of her death? Headstone? Her husband was
a well known Preacher with the Reformation Church.
I know I have a lot of questions, Or, if you can direct me that would be wonderful.
Thank you so very much for any help! Rosie
