I wonder if anyone has access to death notices or newspaper archives for Columbus around 1909. Mabel Pickett (b. Ottawa Canada 1883) went to jail around this time frame for killing her baby (sounds like severe postpartum depression??) I would think it would have been in the newspaper, since it seems a sensational crime. Not sure of the baby's name or gender, but there was a James William Pickett died 17 Apr 1909, and this may have been the baby. Mabel did not spend a long time in jail, but the Warren family was disgraced and moved to Dayton because of the scandal. It is also possible that Mabel was unmarried at the time and thus would still be Mabel Warren, not Pickett. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
