Kiel, Wis. -- (AP) -- The badly decomposed body of Mrs. Elmer H. Dedering, 35, missing since Aug. 26, 1946, was found last night in the tiny attic of her home here.
Coroner Theodore Teitgen said there would be no attempt at an autopsy, but that Mrs. Dedering's death was an apparent suicide. He said she had made a previous attempt at her own live with an overdose of sleeping powder.
The body was found in a 20 x 9 x 4 attic reached by a trapdoor from an upstairs bedroom of the small frame house in which Mrs. Dedering lived with her husband and their three children ranging in age from four to 11 years.
