HANNAH JOCELYN DEATH 1881
by Antoinette Waughtel Sorensen
Last week I read of the death of Hannah Jocelyn in 1881 - according to the
article she died of blood poisoning (per doctor & coroner) BUT evidently the
police/sheriff of Evansville thought her paramour Joseph Wright may have
done her in ~ ~ I would like to know if anyone knows if there was any follow
up on her death, if she is buried in Evansville as I cannot find her
anywhere else. She had given birth to a premature baby on January 24, 1881
and I am assuming her death was between then and the February 12, 1881 date
of the newspaper item from New Albany. I do not know whether the baby lived
or died or even the sex of the child.
Any help will be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.
