The Ionia County News, Thursday, May 17, 1928
Detectives in employ of the Anchor Line of steamships and the police of 
Glascow, Scotland, are attempting to solve the mystery of the death of Miss 
Eloise Gundrum, born in Ionia, who was found strangled to death in her cabin 
aboard the steamship Caledonia. 

The woman’s body was found as the ship docked at Glascow Saturday at the end 
of a four-month world cruise.  She had been killed with a rope stretched over 
the beds in cabins to aid passengers in arising.  It had been drawn tightly 
about her throat producing strangulation.  The steamship officials knew little 
about Miss Gundrum other than that she has been booked from California for the 
cruise.  Lack of information as to the woman handicapped the officers in their 
attempt to find the slayer of a cause for the crime.

Investigation so far has revealed little other than that she was the sister of 
Dr. F. F. Gundrum, of Sacramento, California, and was prominent in social 
circles there.  She was a member of the University Women’s association having 
attended Stanford University.  She was born in Ionia in 1882.
