Emily Rossi

Abendpost, Oct. 1, 1890

The suicide of the noted German-American actress, Emily Rossi, together with her sweetheart, Gustav Koch, is not as yet cleared up. The actress had a falling out with her mother sometime ago concerning a love affair in Germany with Felix X. His last name never could be discovered.

Pressed by her new fiancee, Gustav Koch, to marry him, she admitted she is not able to forget her former lover, and would rather die before marrying him with the love for some one else in her heart. Both became apparently despondent over this dispute and finally decided to die together.

The authoress Emily Rossi in Berlin, who is the mother of the dead actress, always cherished the wish, according to information on hand, that her daughter should marry a wealthy man.
