"DEATH OF MRS. ISAAC HIGGINS"
Occurred Sunday at the Macon County Hospital from Injuries Received Recently
"Mrs. Isaac Higgins of this city died Monday night, August 19th, at 7:20 at the Macon County Hospital in Decatur as the result of blood poisoning. She was taken to the hospital on Wednesday, August 15th, and for a couple of days, her condition seemed to improve."
"Mrs. Higgins, it will be remembered, tried to commit suicide on Sunday night, August 2, by lying down in front of an I.T.S. car. She was badly cut, and the left hand badly crushed and for a time it was thought the arm would have to be amputated. The body was brought to Monticello over the Wabash Monday at 12:52 and taken directly to the family residence. Funeral services were held Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock at the Catholic church. Rev. Father Selva of Bement was in charge. Interment in Monticello cemetery."
"Sarah Jane McKenzie was born in Fayette county, Dec. 24, 1883, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edward McKenzie of this city. On Oct. 21, 1901, she was united in marriage to Isaac Higgins. Six children were born to this union, five of whom are living, Francis dying five months ago, and it was grief over his death that undermined her health and caused the act which finally resulted in her death."
"Besides her parents and her husband, I. J. Higgins, she leaves the five children: Willard, Charles, Harold, Lewis, and Mary. She also leaves four brothers, Mike, Pearl and Earl of Camp Lincoln, and Francis, of Monticello, and two sisters, Mrs. Agnes Wilcut of Bement, and Irene of Monticello. The family have the sympathy of the community."
