Good Morning All, Can any lister please let me know more about this lady's occupation?"Sudden Death We have to record a melancholy case of sudden death that took place in Graham’s Town on Sunday last. The name of the deceased was Mrs. ELLIOTT, a woman who got her living by mangling, and who, it appears, was quite well on the Saturday evening prior to the day of her death. As she did not make her appearance as usual on the Sunday, some of her neighbours got admission through the window into the cottage she occupied, and found her lying dead upon the floor. She is supposed, from the appearances presented by the body, to have died of apoplexy." Regards, Rod g
