December 17, 1885
Last Thursday morning Mrs. Angeline HAMILTON was found dead in her bed. On Wednesday she
felt unusually well, and spent the evening with the family, laughing and in pleasant
conversation. About 8 o'clock she retired. The next morning she failed to get up;
and one of her sons went to wake her. He found her a corpse, though the body was still
warm. Dr. MARR was summoned, but the old lady was beyond medical aid. At the suggestion
of Dr. MARR, an inquest was held. Coroner LETHERMAN was notified, but he could not come,
so the duty devolved upon Squire GONDRING. It is supposed that Mrs. HAMILTON died of
apoplexy. She was 67 years of age, widow twice, and them other of a large family, all
grown. The remains were buried on Saturday.
