1t is the supposition of the officials
and the young womans brother that
Miss Vernon slipped on the ice while
endeavoring to get the water and fell
into the cistern. There was a sheet
OF ice about the opening into the cs-
tern and misplaced step would have
caused anyone to slip and plunge
headlong. Miss Vernon was fully
dressed for the days work and this
would give rise to the belief that she
intended to carry out her usual duties
of the day.
The opening to the cistern was on
level with the ground and was 2
feet in diameter over the opening
there was placed board about 12
inches in width. There had been a
large stone which was formerly
placed over the board, but this had
not been used for sometime and lay
discarded several feet from the cis-

from the rear of the house.
A further investigation after the
body had been recovered revealed the
fact that the bucket with which Miss
Vernon had endeavored to draw the
water was found in the bottom Of the
cistern. This would also substanti-
ate the theory that the death was ac-
cidental, as the bucket probably fell
into the cistern at the same time

DROWNED
IN CISTERN
Accidental Death OF Woman
In South Vernon
Slipped On Ice And Fell Into
The CiStern
Body Discovered By Brother
Hours Afterwards
Birdie Vernon The Victim Of
The Accident
Whose Body Was Recovered
AT II O'clock Tuesday
Morning

The body Of Birdie Vernon ased Is
years, single, was found In c,stern
IN about five feet Of water, 4, 0,e rear
: Of the residence Of her srasd-mother,
Mrs. Mary Vernon, resldias On the
Newark road, just south Of Ne. Yer
non. The discovery Of the body was
made at II o'clock Tuesday msrnIng
by William Vernon, a brother ef TIE
deceased. II 10 believed that the wo-
man had been dead for several hours
before the body was recovered.
Considerable mystery Surrounds
the death OF Miss Vernon. although
her relatives are positive that her
death was accidental; that sh 10 slipped
on the ice and plunged into tho cis-
tern while attempting to draw buck
ct of water by means OF rope and
bucket.
There was nothing to indiSate sui
eide and Coroners Fisher will hold
that death was accidental unless far
ther evidence is found to show that
the woman deliberately ended her
own life.
Miss Vernon has been making her
home with her grandmother. Mrs.
Mary Vernon, for number OF years.
In fact since the death Of her parents.
II has been her custom TO arise early
In the mornings, go to tho barn, wa
ter and feed the COW, do the milking
and deliver milk In the neighborh0od.
Mrs. Vernon states that she Aeard
door slam In the house about three
o'clock Tuesday morning and believes
that her granddaughter WAS up and
about doing chores ut that hour
AT breakfast time the young wo-
man did not return and accordingly
Mrs. Vernon called in William Yer
non. aged about 40 years, and
brother of Birdie. Mr. Venom made
n search of the barn and In fact all
about the neighboorhoOd. but could
find no trace of his sister.
A peculiar coincidence occurred In
connection with the affair, which
Kept Mr. Vernon IRON looking into
tho cistern earlier In the morning.
and that was the position OF the small
board, which was ALWAYS In place oy-
'er the opening into the cistern. 1t
appears that after the body was re-
covered that the story brought to
light that about eight o'clock young
girl came to the house after milk and
noticing that the cover was removed
from the cistern, carefully placed the
board back In position and an the
piece OF wood had the appearance OF
not being disturbed, Mr. Vernon new
or thought of looking into the cisterl
In his search for his sister earlier In
the morning.
About II o'clock, MIR Vernon CAV,
up the search, Du! as last resort DE
