MRS. ALICE BLAZE
Suicided Yesterday Afternoon by Drowning in the River--Body Not Yet Recovered
Mrs. Alice Blaze, aged 59 years, widow of George Blaze, committed suicide yesterday between 12 and 1 o'clock by drowning in the Ohio river at a point near the old Johnson starch factory.
Mrs. Blaze lived in a cottage on west Third street, a few doors below Wall street, with her single children, May and George. About a year ago she received a fall in which the back of her head was struck, and this winter she fell on the icy sidewalk at her home and again struck her head, since which time she has suffered with severe pains in her head and back, and this is believed to have affected her mind. When the children came home from work for dinner yesterday they found their mother missing and immediately their suspicion was aroused. A hurried search of the neighborhood was made without reward and the unfortunate woman was then traced to the river. On a little bush near the water's edge the weeping and heartbroken daughter found her mother's bonnet and shawl, which told only too well of the tragedy which had been enacted.

BODY OF MRS. GEO. BLAZE
Who Suicided in the River Wednesday Recovered This Morning
The body of Mrs. Alice Blaze, who committed suicide by drowning in the Ohio River Wednesday noon, was recovered from the water at 4:30 o'clock this morning by Messrs. William Ward and William Walters, at the ship yard. The body was floating on top of the water and had lodged against a guy rope of the steamer Trimble.
Coroner Cochran was immediately notified and after viewing the body it was removed to Schneider's undertaking house and prepared for burial.
The funeral will take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the residence on west Third street. Rev. Ake will conduct religious services.
Mr. Charles Blaze, of Alton, Ill., the decedent's eldest son, arrived in the city yesterday afternoon.
The family desires The Herald to thank all friends and neighbors for their kindness and solicitude during their trouble and especially the gentlemen who assisted in dragging the river.
Parties were at once organized to drag the river and last night dynamite was used in the hope of raising the body without success. To-day searchers are at work, but up to the hour of going to press the body had not been recovered.
Eight years ago last August, Mrs. Blaze's husband, who was a ship carpenter by trade, was accidentally drowned at St. Louis and this preyed on her mind.
The decedent's maiden name was Fahey. She was a native of Ireland and came to this country with her parents at the age of two years. She was a Catholic and a member of St. Michael's Church. Bedsides the two children at home, she leaves one son, Harry, married and living on west Third street, and another son, Charles, living at Alton, Illinois. She also leaves a sister, Mrs. Samuel Mantz, of this city, and a brother living at Seymour.
The bereaved relatives have the sympathy of many friends in their misfortune.
