KAYSVILLE KINKS #111 IN SERIES - MARCH 1900
The time of Judge Rolapp and a jury has been occupied today in the trial of the case against Ella Curtis Garlick, the Kaysville woman accused of setting fire to Swan & Co. Saloon on the night of February 24, 1899. The defense set up the plea of temporary insanity and to prove it put the defendant on the stand. She testified she was periodically afflicted with St. Vitus Dance (a nerve disorder characterized by involuntary jerky movements, also including emotional or behavioral problems) , and that certain conditions, peculiar to her sex, had rendered her extremely nervous. Her husband came home drunk and in one of her nervous spells, the deed of which she is accused, was committed. At 4:30pm the case went to the jury. No verdict has yet been rendered. Mrs. Hannah Simmons, the oldest woman in Kaysville was honored yesterday with a celebration of her 90th birthday. The very warm weather during the last 2 weeks forced fruit buds forward until apricot and peach trees are about to burst into bloom. The ladies of the Kaysville Relief Society entertained 300 elderly people yesterday on the occasion of the celebration of the 32nd anniversary of the societies organization. Programs were held and dinner was served to everyone. Miss Ada Schofield and Wilford Bosworth were united in holy matrimony on Wednesday. Funeral services were held this afternoon over the remains of William H. Bone who died of heart failure last Sunday. There were many beautiful flowers on the casket and a lengthy cortege followed the hearse to the cemetery.
