is MRS STAYNER DEAD
MILWAUKEE PAPE . PUBLISHES A
SENSATIONAL SN RY.
IDENTIFICATION is COMPLETE
Story Started by the Husbands Sister
said to be False and the Remains are
Buried from the Home of Mrs,
Mooers Today.

A very sensational report appeared
in one of the Milwaukee evening papers
last evening stating that there was
considerable doubt in the minds of in
terested parties as to the identity of
the remains of the woman found in this
city last Sunday, and later identified as
the remains of Mrs. Helen Stayner, of
Milwaukee, who disappeared from her
home during October, 1898. The arti
Gle further stated that the missing
woman was now living in Chicago.
The story seems to be without any
foundation whatever and is probably
the work of sensational reporter
having nothing else to do. In speak
ing of this story the Milwaukee Senti-
mel says
A sensational report in an evening
paper to the effect that there is some
doubt about the identity of the body
washed ashore near Kenosha as that of
Mrs. Helen Stayner, is positively denied
by Mrs. Hazen AJooers, mother of the
missing woman, and Col. 81. NJ. Sea-
man, the latter's brother-in-law. Both
are firmly convinced that the iGentifl
cation has been established beyond all
question. Miss Stayner, upon whose
alleged statements as sister law of
the missing woman, the article in
question was based, states that her
interview was so misquoted that an
entirely erroneous idea of her position
is given. Moreover, she has since
received information which has con
vinced her also that the body is IN
doubtedly that of Mrs. Stayner.
At Mrs. Mooer's home last evening
Mrs. Stayner's mother and Col Seaman
gave their reasons for believing that
the Identification made by them was
complete and convincing.
The shoes on the body" said Mrs.
Mooers, were exactly the size both in
width and height as those my daughter
wore. The height, five feet, eight in
ches, which is rather unusual for a
woman, correspondent exactly, and the
general outline of the face and figure
were familiar. recognized the cloth
ing, also, while the filing in the teeth
served to bear out our conclusion.
Taking this proof into consideration,
with all the circumstances of her dis
appearance, which pointed to suicide
by drowning, I cannot see the slightest
reason for doubt that the body is that
of my daughter"
COL Seaman's statement was equally
positive. It seems absurd, said he
that Mrs. Mooers and l, who knew
Mrs. Stayner so intimately, could pos
sibly be mistaken in such an affair as
this. Not only did we identify the
clothing and shoes, as Mrs. Mooers has
told you, but we even took the precau-
ton to get descriptions from the shoe
dealer and close friends who had not
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1899-05-25

seen the garments stree the body was
found. In each case the result bore
out our superstition. :
Miss Stayner, when seen at her home
in the Martin flats, was quite indig
nant at the way in which she main,
tanned her statements had been dis
torted. All I said, f" she explained,
" was that / was not satisfied with a
hasty Identification and would wait
until the affair was thoroughly investi
gated. / beard rumors that Mrs.
Stayner had been seen in December in
Chicago, and wished to be perfectly
sure before making up my mind that
the body was actually that of my
brothers wife, This evening the dent
ist, who examined the gold filings, has
reported that they are the ones that be
placed in Mrs. Stayner's teeth some
years ago, and that, of course, settles
the question. | am now convinced
that the Identification has been estab-
lished.o
The funeral of Mrs. Stayner, which
was private, was held at 10 o'clock
this morning at the undertaking estab
lishment of F. W. Patterson. Interment
was at Forest Home cemetery.

After the ceremony the party retired
