Local 15 Jan 1885 On Sunday morning last, Mrs. S. H. NEWELL, wife of Sheriff Newell, was found dead at her home in this city. Mr. Newell and his three oldest children were at Sunday School, there being no one home but Mrs. Newell, and the baby of about 3 years of age. When the son Fred, returned home, he found his mother lying on the floor in the front room and thinking she was asleep, the little fellow attempted to rouse her. Failing in this he called in Peter GREGGERS, Mrs. Ferd NELSON, and Mrs. Geo. DAVIS who live near. They found her body still warm but the vital spark had fled. On Monday a cornoners inquest was held and testimony and post mortem led the jury to believe that Mrs. Newell came to her death from the effects of an attempt, made by herself to procure an abortion. Funeral services were held at the Christian church in this city Tuesday, and her remains were buried in the cemetery at this place.
