SLEPT BY HER DEAD MOTHER -  Mrs. Phoebe Cockram was found dead in her bed this
morning at her home over Cronin's warehouse on Liberty street, her 11 year old
daughter, Kate, having slept in the same bed all night totally unconscious of
the death.  The woman was a widow, her husband having died about ten years ago,
and lived with her little daughter alone.  She has been an invalid for a number
of years, being a sufferer from asthma, stomach trouble and a weak heart. 
Yesterday she felt very bad and in the afternoon called on Dr. Nelson for
treatment.  Late in the evening the physician called at her home and prescribed
for her.  Mrs. Hutchings, mother-in-law of her married daughter, stayed with her
until late and promised to call this morning again.  When she arrived at the
house about 8 o'clock she had some difficulty in arousing anyone, but finally
the little girl opened the door and let her in.  Mrs. Hutchings asked about the
mother and was told she was asleep.  Going into the bed room she found the woman
dead, her eyes closed as in sleep and one hand laying across her breast.  It was
the first intimation that the daughter had of her death.  She had laid by her
side all night and never noticed anything out of the ordinary.  Besides the 11
year old daughter who is the youngest child, there are two boys, George and Will
who live in the country and Mrs. James Hutchings, who resides with her husband
in the third ward.  No funeral arrangements have been made.
