Lancaster daily intelligencer. (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928: December 03, 1880
On Wednesday morning an infant daughter of Augustus Brayman and wife, of Mount Joy,
aged seven weeks, was found dead in bed between its parents, having been suffocated
during the night. Dr. J. P. Ziegler was hurriedly sent for with a hope that the
child might be resuscitated, but it was too late. Deputy Coroner Henry Kurtz was
notified and empaneled the following named jurors to hold an inquest: Clerk of
Orphan's Court, John H. Zeller, Justice of the Peace Robert McFadden, ex-coroner
Alex Dysart, Constable James Donaghy, Abraham Strickler and Jacob R. Grissinger.
From the testimony it appeared that the mother, Mrs. Brayman, nursed the child at
half-past eleven o'clock Tuesday night and then went to sleep, not awaking again
until 4-1/2 o'clock Wednesday morning, when she discovered the child lying between
her and its father dead but quite warm, having unquestionably been accidentally
smothered. The jury rendered a verdict of death from accidental suffocation.
