years. passed away at one of the local
tourist hotels, Wednesday afternoon
at 4:40. Her death was not unex-
pected, as she had been in very poor
health for a long while; in fact, the
reason for her presence here was
that she hoped the mild Florida eli
mateAwould improve her condition.
Miss Mackay's home was in Goder-

brother, Robert Mackay, came 10

i ESIEADER FOUND
QlD NEAR |. ASHLEY.
Lower PART COUNTY

1ne TACT that N Roepke had a habit
oL making regular trips to the post
once and general store at Alamana
led to the discovery Of his dead BODY
IN the house which he occupied alone
On ms homestead two and half miles
from the postofice.
Death had come several davs he
lore the body was found by Geo.
3roeke. who is the postmaster and
conducts a general store at Alamana.
and the body was in an advanced
state of decomposition.
Justice w. H. Newell. of New
smyrna. was notified and held an in
quest over the body Monday morn
ing. the verdict Of the coroner's iurv
being that death had come by ma
tural causes.
Mr.. Roepke was about 20 years of
age and had lived alone on the home
stead for four years. He had, during
this time. made regular visits to the
postoffice and general store at Ala
mana every Wednesday and Friday.
and when he failed to show nm as
usual last Wednesday the postmaster
thought he was probably slightly in
disposed or too busy to make the
usual visit. When he failed to show
up Friday the postmaster began to
think he might be seriously ill. so
he went to the Roepke place, Sunday.
and made the gruesome discovery.
The body lay in bed, just as the
man paust have either retired and
died suddenly. or as if he might have
been taken i'll and gone to bed. Mr..
Brooke notified Justice Newell. sun
day night. and the justice went 10
the place Monday morning. taking DR..
w. c. Chowning to make an examin-
alton of the body to determine the
cause of death.
The body was in such an advanced
state of decomposition that thorough
examination was almost impossible
but no marks of violence were found
and the position of the body clearly
indicated death from natural causes.
The jury was composed of R. p.
Hardy. B. f. Green. V. A. Newell
Geo. A. Brooke. c. F. Lamson and
Clifford Gee.
1t was learned that a son of the
same name. n. Roepke. lives at 4457
N. Lamon avenue. Chicago, and the
son was advised by wire of the death
of his father. Tuesday morning a
telegram was received from the son
saying to bury the body on the place
and this was ordered done by Justice
| Newell.
