Married William E. Breazeale on December 21, 1893
Another child: Elizabeth Breazeale b. 1895 NJ (Taught school in PA)
New Brunswick, April 14.- A dispatch received here late this afternnon from Providence, RI, telling of the suicide of a woman who was a passenger on the Joy Line steamer Tremont, which left New York Monday night for Providence, verified the suspicion that Mrs. Martha Hamilton (Dodge)Breazeale, who disappeared from here yesterday, had committed suicide.
Mrs. Breazeale was the wife of William E. Breazeale, Associate Professor of Mathematics in Rutgers College, and was a great sufferer from nervous trouble and melancholia. She left her home at 102 Hamilton Street yesterday morning. The first clue to her whereabouts came this morning in a letter from her directed to Prof. Breazeale postmarked New York Monday night saying the unhappy author had struggled to overcome her despondency, but in vain. There was a touching farewell to the husband, closing with the information that by the time the letter was received the writer would be no more.
Prof. Breazeale started for New York as soon as he received the letter, accompanied by his brother-in-law, Prof. R W Prentiss(Robert Woodworth Prentiss). As she had relatives in Worcester, Mass, he thought that she might go there, and they made inquiries at the various steamship offices. At the Joy Line office Prof. Breazeale learned that a woman whose description corresponded with that of his wife had bought a ticket. More definite news awaited the professor when he arrived here this afternoon. A dispatch from Providence was then shown to him telling how a woman who had registred as Mrs. Brown of New York had jumped from the Tremont some time during the night. She was not missed until it was found early this morning that one of the rooms on the outside of the boat was locked. When it was opened the stewards found a black silk skirt, short black jacket, and black hat of velvet with four feathers, which corresponded to the clothing worn by Mrs. Breazeale. The woman jumped into the waters through the window.
Mrs. Breazeale, who was thirty-eight years old, was formerly Miss Martha Hamilton Dodge. She was a native of Massachusetts. She was educated in the Baltimore schools, and later was graduated form The Normal School at South Framingham, Mass. About ten years ago she was married to Prof. Breazeale. Besides her husband she leaves four children, ranging from eight to two years of age.
