Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name - probably the Batavia Daily) November 7, 1904 MRS. EDWARD BADY COMMITS SUICIDE EAST ALEXANDER WOMAN CUT HER THROAT TODAY. While Alone at the Home of Her Brother, David KERR, She Slashed Herself With a Razor - Her Husband Met Death on the Railroad on August 17th Mrs. Sarah BADY, aged about sixty years and widow of Edward BADY, committed suicide this morning by cutting her throat at the home of her brother, David KERR, of East Alexander. Both Mr. and Mrs. KERR went away from home this morning, leaving Mrs. BADY alone. She apparently was in good spirits at that time. When Mrs. KERR returned about 11 o'clock she found Mrs. BADY on her knees in the woodshed, with blood spurting from a terrible gash in her throat, while a razor lay on the floor by her side. After assisting her to a chair in the kitchen Mrs. KERR hastily summoned help and a messenger was sent for Dr. MILLER of Alexander. Mrs. BADY expired in a few minutes, however, bleeding to death. Mrs. BADY'S husband, Edward BADY, was killed by a Delaware & Lackawanna train at Mt. Morris early on the morning of August 17th. He was employed as a carpenter on the railroad and was walking on the track when he was struck by a train and beheaded. Despondency over her husband's death and the fact that she was in financial straits are supposed to have been the causes of her terrible act. She had no children. On reaching the KERR house and finding Mrs. BADY dead, Dr. Miller returned to Alexander and telephoned Coroner SNOW, who went to East Alexander this afternoon. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department
