poverty. Through all her trials, how
ever, Mrs. Goteze had refused TO part
with several paintings which she priced
most highly, and, too proud in spirit to
call upon her friends for aid, the aged
women eked out bare existence until
her poorly nourished body could no
longer sustain life. The woman's death
was revealed to her neighbors only when
her failure to appear among them as
usual excited suspicion. When the door
of her room was broken in, her wasted
form was found lying under the bed.
County Physician Mckenzie said death
was due to slow starvation. The romance,
in Mrs. Goetze's life began in Bavaria,
where she pledged her hand to a play
mate who lived next door. When Goethe
came to America and his work ha won
him tame, he sent for his childhood
sweetheart and they were married. The
couple had, for some time, a beautiful
home in Newark.
