Runaldue, No. 5 Shields Street. The matter was reported to Coroner Charters and at 10 o’clock yesterday Drs. Field and Brown held an autopsy, which showed the cause of death to be congestive chill. The deceased for some time had been subjected to attacks which were thought to be chills and fevers and as these soon passed off, leaving her apparently well, no anxiety was felt about her condition by Mr. Runaldue’s family. Yesterday, however, she had an attach lasting from 9 o’clock in the morning until late in the afternoon. About 4 o’clock she rapidly grew worse, when a physician was sent for, but she died before medical assistance reached her. The funeral took place from the residence yesterday afternoon at 5 o’clock, the interment being in Elmwood Cemetery.
