Our readers will be pained to hear of the misfortune which was befallen the family of our fellow-citizen, W. B. Schwartz, the young wife and mother having been adjudged insane, supposed to be the result at least partially of disease and physical weakness.

[Editor’s note: This story was big enough that it was picked up by several papers around the state. The following article also appeared on the same day in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.]

Mrs. W. B. Schwartz, wife of a prominent attorney at Brazil, has been declared insane. She labors under the hallucination that her devoted husband and father, Mr. A. B. Wheeler, a wealthy real estate man, are trying to poison her.

Sunday, immediately after the morning service, at the parsonage, Rev. Middleton united in marriage Mr. W. B. Schwartz, the well known young attorney, to Miss Victoria Wheeler, daughter of A. B. Wheeler, Esq. So quiet had the matter been kept that but few if any at all of their friends knew that the event would take place. The young couple, however, have the best wishes of a large circle friends, who extend their congratulations and wish them a long and prosperous life. Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz are housekeeping on east Church street, near the Catholic church.
