FIND MISSING WOMAN'S BODY
Mrs. Ida Nelson, Aged 53, Ended Life in River.
The body of Mrs. Ida Nelson, wife of Charles J. A. Nelson, who disappeared from her home, E 1630 Fourth avenue, July 23, was recovered from the river yesterday by W. J. Burdick, and engineer on the Northern Pacific railway. The body was seen floating just north of the East Trent avenue bridge.
Mrs. Nelson had been suffering from severe eye trouble for several weeks, and for several nights previous to her disappearance was unable to sleep, her husband told the police. It is believed that this affliction caused her suicide.
Coroner Newman, after investigating the case yesterday, decided no inquest was necessary and held Mrs. Nelson's death was caused by suicide.
Mrs. Nelson, aged 53, has been a resident of Spokane for over 20 years.
She is survived by her husband, three sisters, Mrs. Mary Dahlstrom, of Nye, Wis., Mrs. Matilda O'Neill, Richfield, Minn and Mrs. Augusta Johnson, Hecter, Minn, and a brother, J. P. Johnson, Hecter, Minn.
Nelson called at the police headquarters last night and told Captain Miles he would deposit the $100 reward offered for the recovery of Mrs. Nelson's body with Chief Weir to be paid to Burdick.
The body is at Hazen-Jaeger parlors. No funeral arrangements have been made.
