RIPLEY ADVERTISER
APRIL 22ND 1893
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT LOSCOE GRANGE
The village of Loscoe Grange, near Heanor, was thrown into great excitement on Tuesday morning by the announcement that the landlady of the Sir John Warren Inn, Loscoe Grange, had committed suicide. It appears that shortly after five o’clock on Tuesday morning two collies named John Draper and Edward Grainger were proceeding to their work at the Loscoe Colliery, and when near the bottom of Glue Lane they saw something in the duck pond at the back of Mr Shelton’s house. They hurried to the spot and found a female, in her night- dress, standing in the pond up to the neck in water and mud. The woman proved to be Mrs Holroyd, aged 29 years, wife of Thomas Holroyd, landlord of the Sir John Warren Inn, Loscoe Grange. Although in a pitiable condition the woman was alive, and was speedily removed by her rescuers to her home and restoratives applied. She had lately suffered from severe pains in the head, and had been rather peculiar at times. Mr Eames, of Heanor, was called in, and the unfortunate woman is now progressing favourably. No reason can be assigned by Mr Holroyd for his wife’s rash act, except her illness as stated above.
