Argos Women Ends Life By Hanging; War Worries Blamed

Strangulation by hanging was the method Mrs. Bertha Elizabeth Cordes, age 52, chose to end her life at about 6:30 a. m. today. Mrs. Cordes is the mother of two sons in the armed forces and she had become worried over their welfare. It is thought Mrs. Cordes left the family residence near Argos about six o'clock, walked down a lane with a rope and chain until she reached an apple tree where she was found hanging by members of her family.
Roy Cordes, of Sheppard Field, Texas, is home on furlough and the other son in the service is Arthur Cordes, now stationed somewhere in the Pacific. She is also survived by her husband, Louis, and tow other children, Norman of South Bend, and Mrs. Anna Black, of South Bend. Other close relatives include her mother, Mrs. Anna Niese; a sister, Mrs. Emma Emrick; a brother, William Niese, all of Indianapolis; and a brother, Edgar Niese, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mrs. Cordes was born July 27, 1892 in Shelby county, Indiana, and moved to the Cordes residence, four miles southeast of Argos, in 1938. She was married to Mr. Cordes February 21, 1910.
Friends will be received in the Grossman Funeral Home, Argos. Funeral arrangements are incomplete and will be announced later. (Obit: The Plymouth Daily Pilot, July 1, 1945, pg. 1)
