MATHERS - SUDDEN DEATH - On Monday morning last, an inquest was held by 
Esq., Leet on the body of Betsy Mathers, an aged lady, of the Loop, 
Frankstown township, who was found dead in her barn yard on the evening 
previous.  Verdict of the jury, came to her death from natural causes. 
As buckets were found near her, it is supposed she was on her way to 
milk the cows.  Her death, no doubt, resulted from apoplexy or disease 
of the heart.  A singular coincidence in this case, is the fact that 
her husband, James Mathers, was found dead some eleven years ago, near 
the same place, and  jury returned a similar verdict in his case, as 
was returned in hers.
