Obituary
DEATH CAME SUDDENLY.
Mrs. Amanda Turner Succumbs to an
Attack of Heart Disease While
Sitting in her Rocking Chair,
Sunday Night
Mrs. Amanda Turner, an aged widow, died quite suddenly at her farm home six miles east of this city, Sunday night. Although she had been ailing for some time past, her condition was not considered serious, consequently her sudden demise was as shocking as it was surprising to her friends. For some years past, Mrs. Turner has lived alone on her farm, her nearest neighbor being her son and his wife, who live across the road and who always took care of the old lady when she was ill.
Sunday evening, it is reported that Mrs. Turner partook of some medication and a light lunch, sat down in her rocking chair and breathed her last. The neighbors upon being notified the next morning of the woman's sudden and peculiar death, became suspicious and ordered that an inquest be held. A jury comprising J. F. Fuller, C. H. Swan, John Smith, D. M. Parry, A. C. Neidig and Phillip Cotone investigated the case and brought in a verdict that the deceased died from congestion of the lungs and a complication of heart diseases.
Mrs. Turner was a widow of a soldier, was nearing her sixtieth birthday and had been a resident of this locality for over sixteen years.
The funeral was held today, interment being made in Lakeside cemetery, Rev. J. A. Wiley conducting the obsequies. [Thursday, February 6, 1902, Cumberland Advocate, Cumberland, Wisconsin.]
