Suicide and odd church episode plague Ohio town
A Cleveland man Horace A. Osborne aged about forty, recently from Boston, killed himself by taking poison after leaving letters asking to be buried simply. A church quarterly meeting at MBH Church triggered a comical, nationwide bilious attack as members collapsed, one elder refusing food, others misled by wine, all ending as a farcical scene labeled as a vain attempt to expel the devil. Nearby murders and sensational tales of rural crime filled the report with sensational detail and curious anecdotes.
