Folder: Inquests 1880-1884
Name of deceased: Martha BURNETT
DOD: 25 March 1884
Witnesses: Francis STALLIOSE, Cidy YOUNG, Arnold WILLIAMS, Jeanette WILLIAMS, 
Sophia MCNEAL
Witness statements: STALLIOSE stated she last saw Martha at the foot of the 
bridge. STALLIOSE said they were scared to go over, but BURNETT was not. "I 
can go by myself." "I expect the factory is crowded." "I don't care if it is 
do you Francis." STALLIOSE didn't look at her [to see her fall in]; she made 
no noise. It was light enough to see. YOUNG corroborated STALLIOSE word for 
word. A. WILLIAMS did not know anything about how she got in the water. He was 
fishing and when he got back, they came after him to go look for her, which he 
did; he succeeded in getting her out. J. WILLIAMS says all she knows is she 
saw her fall in and rise once. MCNEAL says all she knows is what Jeanette said.
Inquest verdict: Inquest held in New Bern. Came to her death by accidental 
drowning by falling off R. Rd bridge crossing river west.
