Tragic Washington mother dies by poison over poverty

Mrs Jennie Burns 36 years old killed herself with carbolic acid at 711 11th street northeast after telling her wealthy South Dakota father about the family’s finances and agreeing to separate from her husband and two children to find work. Her husband Joseph Burns, an advertiser, found her with the children asleep nearby and later faced their loss as officers and a physician declared death by her own action. The couple’s trials began when Burns failed to secure steady work and planned to place the children in an institution while he searched for employment.
