BARONESS DE REUTER
The death took place on Thursday of Baroness de Reuter, of Margery House, Lower Kingswood, Reigate. She was the daughter of Mr. Robert Campbell, of Combe Wood, and married Baron de Reuter, in 1876, a son and a daughter being born of the marriage.
On the 18th of April, three days after Edith's death, her husband committed suicide. Testimony given at the inquest held on April 20th reported that the day after Edith's death, her husband had sent a telegram to the secretary of Reuter Telegraph Company which stated "My dear wife has passed away, and with her all that is of any moment. " The coroner asked the witness if the fact of his wife's illness appeared to depress the deceased, the witness stated that Baron de Reuter was a man who did not show his feelings at all and that the letter he had received, was in every sense remarkable. Walter Mark Flint, gardener, said the Baron was very much depressed when he arrived the morning after his wife's death. He seemed brighter on Saturday, but when the coffin was closed down on Sunday he was again very depressed, and remained in the room with his wife's body for two hours. When the Baron was told the undertaker had arrived, he waved him aside, and began to sob. The Baron, left several letters. One of these was addressed to his gardener and another was addressed ''To the spirit of my dear wife.'' The two letters found read:
"My dear Flint. - Now that the undertaker has accomplished his hideous task and withdrawn the remains of my dear wife for ever from my eyes life has become an insupportable burden. Please arrange to have me buried in my dear wife's grave, and have the accompanying letter "To the spirit of my dear wife," placed in her coffin. - Yours truly, HERBERT DE REUTER."
"My darling Edith,- Life without you is insupportable, and the loss of your cherished companionship and tender devotion has shattered my being. Death shall not separate us, for we will repose in the same grave, and thus perpetuate our affectionate union. Farewell, Sweet Spirit." The letter concluded with a Greek quotation, the translation of which was, "To go as quick as possible thither whence one has come is much the second best thing."
