Thursday. The lady has been of peculiar dis
position, unwilling to have person in the
house with her; cons quently the neighbors
have looked out for her. A light was seen in
the house on Monday evening for the last
time. Tuesday, the st rm prevented any of
the neighbors from calling. As nothing was
seen of her either on Tuesday or Wednesday,
some of the neighbors called at the house on
Thursday and found the doors all fastened on
the inside, as usual. On looking in at a win
dow she was discovered lying on the floor
They forced an entrance into the house and
found that she was dead. From appearances
it was judged that on Tuesday she commenced
making some bread, and while in the act of
mixing the dough was seized with fit and
fell to the floor, dragging the dishes with her.
| She must have struggled some as her garments
were torn. 1t is supposed she died on Tues
| day. t fr
Coroner Hall was called, but upon learning
| all the circumstances, deemed an inquest I'M
necessary. s. rar
