Mrs. Joe Parker, bride of a few weeks, took her own life yesterday morning shortly before 7 o’clock at Cliffside when she fired a 45 calibre bullet in her forehead, inflicting a wound from which she died within a short while. It is understood that she was married a few weeks ago to Joe Parker, son of Wheeler Parker who works at the Katherine mill. She was the adopted daughter of I.B. Camp, who is understood objected to the marriage which made it so unpleasant for the young lady that she decided to end her life. The tragedy occurred on Shelby street, Cliffside, at the home of Mr. Camp. Her husband, Joe Parker, is employed in the mill at Cliffside. Mrs. Parker was about 28 years of age.
