SUSAN STORM DIED, RELIEVING HER OF SHAME
Owen County Journal, February 19, 1880.
Susan Storm of Coal City, an unmarried domestic employed in the family of John W. Beem, was found early Tuesday morning lying upon the floor in her room in spasms. Drs. Mullinnix (sic) and Schell were immediately summoned, and she soon gave birth to a well developed child. The mother laid in convulsions about 24 hours when death relieved her of shame and suffering.
