Read More	The Current Wave June 10, 1910 Girl Drowns Self in Jack's Fork River Body Found Near R.R. Bridge at West Eminence -- had threatened suicide. Early last Monday morning the people of West Eminence, Eminence and vicinity were thrown into a fever of excitement when the word was circulated that Miss Annie Birlew, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Steve Birlew of Winona, had committed suicide by drowning, by walking from West Eminence to the railroad bridge near J.W. Counts' home and jumping into the river. She had been employed at the West Eminence hotel where she roomed with another young lady. She retired at the usual time Sunday night but after her roommate had gone to sleep, Miss Birlew got up and quietly placed four letters where her roommate could find them and made her way to the river, supposedly about midnight. She was not missed until the usual time of getting up for her regular morning work when her companion found the letters and reported her absence. It seems Miss Birlew made some mention of going to the river for the purpose of drowning and certain parties therefore hurried to the bridge and found her about 250 yards below the bridge. It seems that Miss Birlew had been so tangled in love affairs from which she became desperately despondent and from which her friends could never extricate her. Sheriff Summer summoned a jury and an inquest was held before Coroner P. D. Gum and the jury pronounced Miss Birlew's death as result of premeditated suicide. The remains were taken to Winona Cemetery. Card of Thanks -- I am thankful to my many friends at Eminence and West Eminence for the recovery and help in taking my dear daughter, Annie, out of the river near West Eminence on June 5th. She took her life in her own hands and ended it all by drowning. While she was young in her strength and beauty of life, I know not the cause. I myself, sick at the time, could not attend the funeral. I thank my many friends in Winona and vicinity for their help and kindness in the time of my distress and I am proud to know I live among good people. So, God Bless you All. S. Birlew. The Current.
