This community never received
greater shock than that caused by the
untimely death of Mrs. Bella Stock
man, on last Thursday morning.
Mrs. Stockman was native of this
county; born in 1850, and was there
fore SO years old; she was married to
Frederick Stockman, of East Morris,
Litchfeld Co., Conn.,, and has made
her home there since ZIG. About six
weeks ago she came here with her lit
tie daughter, Katie, to make her
brother short visit; while here, her
daughter was taken sick of pneumon-
ia, and the mother grieved sadly lest
the child should never recover. On
Thursday morning after eating her
breakfast, she was missed, and upon
search being made, was found in the
attic with her throat cut by razor.
Nothing peculiar had been noticed
except that she refused to visit her
many friends and relatives while
here, and preferred to spend the whole
of her time in the house of her brother
in quiet retirement. Her health had
been bad for many years, and she was
so much changed in manner and APP
pearance as to be scarcely recogniza
BILE by her most intimate associates of
girlhood days. She leaves fond hus.
band, two brothers, little girl; and
two little boys to mourn her sad
death. She was to have been buried
on Saturday, but owing to the great
distance her younger brother, Mr..
James Williamson, of Fray, Kan, had
to come, the funeral was postponed
until Sunday morning. The body
was laid to rest in Falling Waters
graveyard, and the Rev. Harvey Gill
more performed the last sad rite in
the presence of the largest congrega-
ton we have seen at this church for
many years. The friends have the
sympathy of the entire community.
May they find solace in the impeach-
able riches of Gods word. H.
