While Coroner Lester Caskey of Rowan county gave a verdict of suicide, it is thought here that Mrs. House fell into the pool accidentally and, because of her weekened condition, was unable to save herself. She had been dead less than two hours, the coroner's verdict indicated. Mrs. House, who had been in poor health for several years, was in Morehead under the care of a physician. Several years ago she underwent a major operation at the Mayo clinic, Rochester, Minn., from which she had never fully recovered. A member of a leading Bath county family, she was the daughter of J. A. Powell and the late Mrs. Louellen Darnell Powell. Her father is a wealthy and prominent land owner of the South Sherburne section. Besides her husband and father, she is survived by one daughter, Ada Bernice House, and three sisters, Mrs. Roy Denton, of Fleming county, Mrs. Ed Daugherty and Mrs. S. S. Conyers, of Bath. Funeral services will be held at the home of Mr. J. A. Powell Saturday morning, March 4, at 11 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Henry S. Ficklin. Interment will be in the Flemingsburg cemetery.
