Read More	Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Monday, June 19, 1933 Mrs. Robert RICKMAN, aged 68, committed suicide at her home at 7:30 [sic] Indiana Avenue early this morning by drinking carbolic acid. Despondency over continued ill health and impending blindness are given as the cause for the act by Mrs. Rickman’s relatives. The body was found by Mr. Rickman lying on the living room when he came into his home shortly after 1 o’clock this morning after he had been called to the home of a sick friend neary. Mr. Rickman called a docor who was unable to save Mrs. Rickman’s life. Mrs. Rickman had been in ill health for several years Amost two years ago she started to become blind. All efforts to save her eyesight failed. Last spring Mrs. Rickman had one of her eyes removed in an effort to save the sight in the other. Mrs. Rickman had become so blind that it was necessary for her to hold to different things in order to be able to get around. Her husband had stretched a wire from the steps of the home to a tree in the yard under which he placed a large chair so that she would be able to rest. While it will never be known exactly just how Mrs. Rickman committed suicide it is thought that she swallowed the poison while sitting in the chair in the yard and then followed along the wire nto her home The bottle which had contained the acid was found in the yard near the chair. Just how Mrs. Rickman obtained the poison will also probably never be learned. Her suicide however was not unexpected as she had threatened to end her life on other occasions during periods of despondency. Coroner Herbert ZIMMERMAN was called and conducted an inquest. Aminta Ellen [ABBOTT] RICKMAN was born o a farm near Logansport in Cass county on November 15, 1864. Her parents were John and Anna ABBOTT. She has been a resident of this city since she was a young girl. Survivors are the husband, two sons Louis [SWANGO] and William SWANGO both of this city and a number of brothers and sisters. The funeral will be held from the home at 2 p.m. Wednesday. Burial will follow at the Citizens Cemetery. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1933 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
