Witness BARBER states she was with deceased when she died. Did not seem so 
sick when took her onboard the steamer, but was sick before BARBER took her on 
board. CHAPIN stated that he was the Capt. of the Str. E. S. Terry; did not 
think BLOUNT was so very sick. Was well cared for on the boat.
Inquest verdict: It appears that BLOUNT died onboard a steamer ship between 
New York and New Bern. Inquest held on Pollock St. on June 28, 1870. Verdict: 
Based on evidence and opinion of H.G. BATES, MD the cause of death was 
consumption on board the Str. E.S. Terry from New York to New Bern off 
Hatteras.
