Mrs. Alden V. Carter, OF West Ellis
worth, died suddenly on Sunday. Mrs.
Carter had been ill, but seemed to be re-
covering, and was able to sit up. Sunday
one of her children entered her room and
found her lying face downward on the
floor, dead. The circumstances of the
case prompted neighbors to send for Cor
oner ID. l.. Fields, who, accompanied by
DIR. j. 7. Mcdonald, went to the house
Monday. An examination by the coroner
and physician failed to disclose any evil
dence OF foul play. There was slight
bruise on the forehead but it is believed
this was caused by her falling forward
from the chair in which she was sitting.
Death probably resulted from heart fail
ure. Coroner Fields will investigate the
case further, however. Mrs. Carter was
forty-three years of age. She leaves hus-
band and large family OF children. Fun
eral services were held Tuesday afternoon,
Rev. J. 2. Simonton officiating.
