Lowell Ledger, 11 Apr 1901

Belding, Mich., April 10.  About 6 o’clock last night a woman’s body was found 
floating in Flat river near the Smyrna bridge.  The body was later identified 
as that of Mrs. R. Bliss, the wife of a well-to-do farmer who lives three miles 
south of Belding.

The indications are that the woman committed suicide while temporarily insane.  
She has recently inherited about $3,000 from a deceased relative, and it is 
said that she worried continually as to what should be done with it.

She was seen at home yesterday at 1 o’clock and probably went to the river 
immediately after, as her home is four miles from the stream and the body had 
been in the water a number of hours when found.  She was about 50 years of age.
