Buffalo NY Courier 5/1894

Mrs. Elizabeth Bodamer cut her throat
with a razor about 5:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon at her home, No. 14 George
Street.
She was alone in the house at the time,
and when her husband returned from his
work at 6 o'clock he found the body lying
in a pool of blood on the floor in a rear
room, with the raaor tightly clutched in
the right hand. The body was warm, and
Dr. Clement was summoned, but he found
that the flame of life had gone Out.
Mrs. Bodamer was 64 years did, and although
she acted strangely at times, her
sad death was a terrible blow to her hus-
band and family. When her daughter left
home yesterday morning Mrs. Bbdamer appeared
to be in a most cheerful mood. Besides
her husband she is survived by two
sons, two daughters, and three stcp-daughters.
The oldest son, John, is a patrolman
in the First Precinct. Coronor Ransom
was called in. and he decided that an inquest
would be unnecessary.
