From the April 30, 1910 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:
“Indianapolis–Because she had made a mistake in giving a report to a census enumerator and feared arrest, Mrs. Julia V. Chilton, 41 years old, committed suicide yesterday by hanging herself at her home. A note left by the woman read:
‘My Dear Loving Husband: This is all my own fault, not yours, as I made a mistake with the census man. I did not mean to–you are innocent in every way. Tell everyone good-by.
Your Loving Wife,
Julia V. Chilton.’
According to a neighbor, Mrs. Chilton said she had misinformed the enumerator as to the company with which her husband was connected.”
