ANNA TROULLIER
(1881 - 1923)

WOMAN LEFT NOTE TO TELL OF SUICIDE
FRANCIS CREEK VICTIM NOW IS IDENTIFIED

Mrs. Troullier Was Insane at Time Is Belief


Identification of the woman who met death when she threw herself in front of the Ashland limited train on the North Western line at Francis Creek Wednesday night as Mrs. Joseph Troullier was made positive late yesterday at Green Bay, when Mr. Troullier, husband of the victim, viewed the body and the clothing of the dead woman and said that it was his wife. The remains have been taken to the home near Francis Creek and funeral services will be held tomorrow.

That Mrs. Troullier planned to take her own life is established by a note which was found at the home yesterday after her failure to return from an absence overnight. In the note Mrs. Troullier said that she was going to end her life because she could no longer stand the pain and suffering she had undergone.

Had Been Operated
According to members of the family, Mrs. Troullier has undergone two operations in recent months and for several days past she had been suffering intensely from her teeth and had been unable to get relief. Mr. Troullier retired at 9 Wednesday night and his wife left the house some time later. Just when is not established, but it must have been within a few minutes in order to permit her to reach the spot where her death occurred.

Absence of Mrs. Troullier was not discovered until yesterday morning and Mr. Troullier believed she had been called to the home of relatives, but later in the morning started inquiries, but it was not until news of the death of a woman on the track or that any thought of fatality entered his mind. Search of the house revealed the note and Mr. Troullier proceeded at once to Green Bay, where he identified the remains.

Relative Died Same Way
Mrs. Troullier, it develops, selected the same mode of death that a relative followed a few years ago, a nephew of the woman having ended his life in practically the same manner as Mrs. Troullier under wheels of the same train. It is learned that another relative of Mrs. Troullier also committed suicide and this strengthens the belief that the unfortunate woman was mentally unbalanced.

No Inquest to Be Held
Owing to the facts as developed today no inquest will be held, the authorities believing that the note left by the woman and the circumstances of death clearly establish suicide. Mr. Troullier supports the belief also and requested that no inquest be called.

Members of the engine crew of Train No. 111 which killed Mrs. Troullier say that the woman was seen by a section man at the side of the track near the pile of ties and that the engine crew did not know of her presence until she rushed onto the track. Footprints at the side of the track show that the woman had evidently been but a few feet from the rails, apparently standing to await the train, and had covered only a few feet in reaching the path of the engine.

Leaves Husband and Son
Mrs. Troullier is survived by her husband and one son. Previous to her marriage, she was Anna Podrabsky, having spent all her life in Manitowoc county. She was 41 years of age.
