The funeral of Mrs. Charlotte M. Duell took place on Saturday last. A delegation from Carlinghouse, her old home, came down to her late residence and accompanied her remains to the Garlinghouse school house, where the funeral services were held. Rev. Mr. Lowell officiating. She was buried in the cemetery close by. Mrs Duell was the daughter of the late John King, and an unusually strong and resolute woman. She lost her husband about two years ago, and has since then struggle on bravely with her large family of eight little ones, the oldest but 16. She has kept them well cared for, and made regular payments on her little place. Her death seems cruel, and cruel indeed it was if her dying statements are to be credited. Her family are now scattered about among friends and neighbors, and the house is closed.

We announced last week the death of Mrs. Charlotte M. Duell, on Thursday afternoon, and that a sworn statement made by her but a few hours before she died directly implicated certain others as accessory to her death. Upon the strength of this dying testimony, the Coroner, Dr. John H. Jewett of Canandaigua, was summoned, and on Friday afternoon held an inquest to determine if possible the cause of her death. A jury of nine of our best citizens was summoned, and after visiting the residence of the deceased and viewing the corpse, returned to the office of W. L. Sprague, Esq., when the inquest proceeded. The parties implicated were sworn, but denied everything. The son of the deceased corroborated her statements to a considerable extent, but the physicians of the village, except Dr. Conley who was not called, swore so positively, that nothing remained for the jury but to render a verdict in accordance with their evidence, that "the deceased came to her death from natural causes." After this conclusion, it was but a mere formality to discharge the accused who had been charged with crime in the statement of Mrs. Duell, and at 11 o'clock that evening our excited town had become quiet again. It is but fair to state, however, that notwithstanding this verdict, it is still the decided opinion of a large majority of our citizens that the statement made by the deceased is substantially true, and the common expression in referring to the inquest and its result, is "I can't understand it." Time may yet throw some light upon this sad event, which shall change the condition of things. It is the universal desire that justice be done at all hazards.
