Incomplete Romance Ends in Tragic Death Near Catskill
A despatch from Catskill reports the finding of a woman's dead body in a field near Catskill village on Tuesday. The 45-year-old, dressed in black, left behind receipts for bills of exchange on Paris under the name Mme Vogelbach and signed Henry Bischoff. Bischoff, a banker, recalls the woman as educated and refined, likely a widow, who supported her niece Miss Lilie Vogelbach of Philadelphia through years of saving and hardship to fund an education in Paris. Lilie studied at the Conservatoire, earned praise, and her debut occurred in Paris with Adalina Patti's orchestration, before the aunt sent a final large draft in 1877 and vanished with no further word.
