ACTIVE CHURCH MEMBER-

Miss Shuster was a lifelong mem
ber of st. Johns p. +. Church and was
a teacher in the Sunday School. Arch
deacon Gorge c. Hall, the rector, eX-
pressed the greatest sorrow when IN
formed by The Evening Journal of her
sad end. He hoped, since hearing Of
her disappearance, that she had merely
wandered away and would be found
alive. He will, it is expected, oficiate
at the funeral, having been a friend
of the family since he became rector
of St. Johns Church.
When the young woman left the
cottage in Atlantic City on Monday she
told her cousin that she was going to
see the doctor.
She probably wandered around for
awhile and then jumped overheard. ON
the same day after returning from the
beach, she informed her cousin that
she had gone to the pier with the IN
tention of leaping of but the water
seemed cold and made her shudder. y
am so tired of being ilr' she said land
wanted to end It all"
This was the first intimation thai
she contemplated suicide and th'
cousin kept a watch on her. In the
lafternOon, however, when she said sh'
was going to her physicians the rela'
tive permitted her to go alone. She wa'
dressed in mourning, in memory Of hei
mother, was without a hat or coat an'
carried an umbrella.
When she did not return that nigh
word was sent to her father and IN
went to the resort on last Tuesda,
and began the search which ended to
day with the finding Of the body.
