Mary Belle McCormick, daughter of John McCormick and Florence maiden name unknown, was born 25 May 1893 in Clark County, Ohio.
Mary Belle played the piano beautifully. In 1913, Miss McCormick was a student at the Muncie Normal Institute where she earned her diploma. After graduation, she became a teacher at a music conservatory in Muncie, Indiana.
"Mary contracted typhoid fever. She was never the same after that. She shot herself." In three short sentences, the life story's ending of young Mary McCormick is told, according to Marcella Hartley Ritchie.
Marcella, daughter of Bertha Alice McCormick Hartley, cherished the photographs of her Aunt Mary. The studio photographer's portraits of Mary are pristine. We may then see and remember her wearing a beautiful dress and her favourite bracelet on the left wrist.
