Article Text: New York, Jan. 23.--After kissing her three children half a dozen times and telling them to be good until she returned, Mrs. Rosie REIFMEYER, 27 years old, went to the roof of a five story tenement house at 428 East Eighty-second street, today, and committed suicide by jumping from the roof. She died instantly, every bone in her body being broken. A note written by her in Hungarian was found in the room, which in part read: "You will never have a chance to quarrel with me again. As long as I don't suit you I am going to get out of the way, so you can get another woman. I am tired of living." REIFMEYER stoutly denied that he had quarreled with his wife, and declared he could give no reasons for her act. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NY-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
