Lincoln County Tribune Wed Feb 7, 1894


Mrs. Mary Huntley, who has been living in F. Peale's house
died suddenly last Friday morning at 8 o'clock. She had
not been sick, and had done a large washing the day before.
Her husband who was hauling hay, was called at once, and
the doctors who were also summoned pronounced the woman
dead. Some doubt existed in the minds of the husband and
others as to whether she were dead or had gone into a
trance. Her body was placed on a lounge and the room was
kept warm; but yesterday morning those who had any doubts
at all became satisfied that there was no life in the body.
The suddenness of the death cause suspicious rumors of 
foul play to be set afloat and sheriff Miller held a
coroner's inquest. There was a post mortem examination
made and the physicians testified before the jury that
Mrs. Huntley came to her death by reason of dropsy of 
the heart, a clot of blood being found in one of the
chambers of the heart. There have been many cases reported
of people being buried alive. It was the wish of the
husband an parents as well as friends of the deceased, 
that the body be kept until all doubt was removed. The
house being easy of access there were many visitors, but
none could suggest anything that would restore life.
Mrs. Huntley was a young woman, not eighteen years of 
age, and leaves a husband and a three-months' old babe.
She was buried in the North Platte cemetery, Rev. David
Z. Foulk, of the Lutheran church holding services at
the residence. The grief-stricken husband and parents
have the sympathy of many friends.
