BODY FOUND IN WOODS In Ill Health Recently, She Vanished From Daughter s Home at Mountain Lakes, N. J. Special to The New York Times. BOONTON, N. J., June 21. Mrs. Kate Jordan Vermilye, author and playwright, who has been hurrying to complete a novel in which a young girl commits suicide, left the home of her daughter, Mrs. George A. Reeder, in Mountain Lakes yesterday afternoon, and took her own life by swallowing Lysol. Her body was discovered in a clump of scrub pine this morning by Chief F. J. Morgan and Patrolman Dennis or the Mountain Lake police. Mrs. Vermilye, who was 65 years old, came from the Hotel Touraine in New York two months ago to live with her daughter. She had been suffering from insomnia and high blood pressure, and was considerably fretted about this book she was writing. It was promised to a publisher for an early date. Yesterday towns people saw her riding back and forth on trolley cars between Boonton and Denville. She appeared nervous and did not seem to notice the stations. When she failed to return to the Reeder home last night a search was organized. Men beat the thickets about Mountain Lakes, but not until this morning was the body found, a bottle in one hand, and acid burns about the mouth. Coroner Joseph Boelker of Dover pronounced the case a suicide. In Mrs. Vermilye s purse was $30 and a list of relatives and their addresses. There was no last message to shed light on the motives for death. 707

The body of Mrs. Kate Jordan Vermilye, the novelist and playwright who committed suicide by swallowing poison June 20 in the woods near Mountain Lakes, N. J., was cremated yesterday afternoon at the New York and New Jersey Crematory in North Bergan. The ashes will be interred tomorrow in the family plot at Sleepy Hollow, Tarrytown, N. Y. Canon Madera of the Episcopal Church officiated at the funeral services, which were held in the chapel at the crematory. The funeral procession drove from the home of Mrs. Vermilye s niece, Mrs. George A. Reeder, in Mountain Lakes. According to a nephew, J. J. Baulsir of Jackson Heights, L. I., Mrs. Vermilye s suicide was due to depression over her inability to finish a novel as soon as she had expected. He said that in recent years her health had been failing and she had been troubled with insomnia. Mrs. Vermilye was 65 years old. Her husband died some years ago. They had no children.

He is a member of the Racquet and Calumet clubs, the St. Nickolas Society and The Society of the Colonial Wars.

15 709 Kate Jordan is of Irish birth, although she has lived nearly all her life in America. She first came into literary notice when she won a prize for her story, A Rose of the Mire. Since then she has written continuously for the magazines and for the stage. She and Mr. Vermilye were married June 17, 1897, in Grace Church. Their divorce seven years later was kept a secret several months. The reason given in the suit was incompatibility of temperament. Kate Jordan s romantic turn of mind conflicted with her husbands desire that both should shine in society. Article published in the New York Times, dated February 13, 1906; F. M. Vermilyea, a dealer in railroad supplies, was in the Jefferson Market Police Court yesterday morning as a complainant against a cabman whom he accused of stealing his $450 fur coat.

16 710 He was born at Saratoga Springs, New York, May 21, 1824, and after academic preparation entered Williams College, where he was graduated with the Class of After his graduation, he studied law in the office of Chesselden Ellis, in the City of New York, and upon his admission to the Bar became a member of the firm of Ellis, Burrill & Davison. Upon the death of Mr. Ellis, Mr. Davison, with Messrs. Burrill formed the firm of Burrill, Davison & Burrill, which continued until the year 1881, when he retired from the firm and, in consequence of continued ill-health, gave up general practice, and devoted his leisure to study and travel, and to the care of educational, religious and benevolent interests. During the thirty years of its existence, the advice and counsel of the firm of Burrill, Davison & Burrill were sought and prized by many of our largest banking and commercial interests, and it was engaged in the important litigations of the period notably those involving the earlier Western railroad corporations, the New Haven Railroad cases, the Erie Railroad cases, and many of the New York Central consolidations and extensions. While the engagements and arguments in Court were mainly by the other members of his firm, Mr. Davison s advice and judgment were highly valued by his clients. His address was most courteous, his manners genial and his personality attractive and engaging. Although he never sought or accepted public office (save in the Civil Service), he exercised large influence and occupied important positions to which he was called by his church, serving his church at home and representing her in the courts of the Denomination. He was a Trustee in the Greenwich Savings Bank, and from 1878 until his death a most diligent Trustee of Williams College, his Alma Mater, serving for many years on the Finance Committee of her Board of Trustees with great acceptance and usefulness. He long enjoyed the esteem of the community as a public spirited citizen, the confidence of his fellow churchmen as a church officer, and the respect and affection of the members of his profession as a lawyer of wide and varied learning, who ennobled our profession by his useful and honorable career. The members of the Association with which he has been so long connected mourn his death and sympathize with his family in their sorrow.
