  1. 1.  PULSIFER Alameda was born on 03 Jul 1858 in Crown Point, Essex Co., NY; died on 08 Mar 1885 in Seymour, CT.

    Notes:

    She commited suicide over the break up of
    a man (William A. Douglass) whom she had
    been living with as his wife but they were
    probably not married. He was married to
    someone else. She went to the Wilbur House
    in Seymour and asked for a room for the
    night. The next day they found her ill and
    discovered an empty ounce vial of Laudanum
    in her bag. Doctors were called but could not save her.
    They found a letter among her things writted
    in pathetic strain, unbraiding Mr. Douglass
    for his desertion of her. It is believed this
    10 Mar 1885
    was her reason for taking her life.N.Y. times
