    3. BEDFORD MAIL BEDFORD, INDIANA FRIDAY, DEC. 6, 1901 Terre Haute, Ind., Dec. 2. – The death of Miss Emily Neukom the critic teacher in the city schools, has developed a romance and tragedy. At first it was thought she had died from an overdose of morphine taken for relief from physical suffering. She had been engaged to marry D. M. Greeting, of Greensburg, formerly state superintendent of public instruction. Several months ago he broke off the engagement by letter. He is a widower, and his married daughter objected. A week ago Mr. Greeting was here, and renewed or tried to renew the engagement. He has also been here since her death, and was greatly affected by it. Several days ago Miss Neukom wrote to Mr. Greeting, saying finally that she would not marry him. In response to this two letters were received, one Friday and the other Saturday, but both were found under Miss Neukom's pillow after her death Sunday morning. Neither letter had been opened.
