Latrobe Advance Wed, Dec 02, 1885
Died at the residence of M. Soxman, Jr., near Latrobe, on Saturday night last,
November 28, 1885, Mrs. Sarah McCarty, aged about 72 years. Mrs. McCarty was the
mother of Mrs. M. Soxman, Jr., and, although quite an aged lady, for a number of
years past has been suffering with some obscure malady, which baffled all
medical treatment. At different times she expressed desire that in the event of
her death a postmortem examination of her remains be held so that the true
nature of her disease could be ascertained. Accordingly on Sunday afternoon
last, Drs. McConaughey and Hughes held a post-mortem and found an adhesion of
the stomach and transverse colon to the liver which contracted the functions of
the stomach. A critical examination demonstrated the fact that, this adhesion
was of long years standing and was the cause of much suffering to the
unfortunate lady.
