The act was undoubtedly committed while the unfortunate girl was temporarily insane. For some time she has been under the constant surveillance of her father and two sisters, and had at times acted strangely, but had never manifested symptoms that warranted restraint. Friday morning she appeared as cheerful as usual when she took breakfast with her family at the Shaver house opposite the parsonage. At noon she complained of being ill and requested that her lunch be sent over to her. The family returned from lunch at 2 o'clock, but Anna was not to be found in her chamber. She had so arranged the bed clothing that at the first glance the bed appeared to be occupied. Discovering that she was not in her chamber, a thorough search of the house ensued. In a dark closet opening off a chamber formerly occupied by servant the horrified father discovered the body of his daughter. The corpse was suspended to a peg by a handkerchief tightly knotted about the throat. The young lady was 29 years of age, and was a favorite with all who knew her. She took a prominent part in church work and was an artist of no little merit. Her mother is now an inmate of an insane asylum in Oregon, and a few weeks ago one of her brothers was removed to the insane asylum at Napa."⁵
