Portland Observer, 5 Feb 1878

Death – At the town of York, on the 24th inst., Edward Freeman, aged 42 years.

Mr. Edward Freeman was actively and successfully engaged in farming, and was in 
the prime of life, being only 42 when he died.  He had been feeling unwell 
during the last day and evening of his life, and when he retired at night, his 
wife laid down dressed, so as to be able to attend to him if he called for 
her.  About two o’clock in the morning she was alarmed by a peculiar noise he 
made in breathing and the purplish appearance of his face.  Medical aid was at 
once summoned, but before the doctor arrived he was dead.  An autopsy held on 
Friday showed that his death was caused by disease of the heart.  He was very 
generally respected.

The above obituary is taken from the Livingston, (N. Y.,) Republican of a 
recent issue, and will be sad news to Mr. Freeman’s many friends in this 
vicinity, he having resided in this township a number of years, living prior to 
his removal to New York, on the Bunker farm, two miles west of this village.  
He was here a few weeks ago, and seemed to be in the best of health.
