Number 1 UNION COUNTY CORONER'S INQUISITIONS 1806 - 1869 Contributed by Jeannette Christopher, Carlisle, SC (Continued from Vol. XVIII, page 193) Volume XIX Winter 1991 Number 1 , p. 43 Union Dist. - An Inquest indented taken at William Browning's old field in Union Dist. 10 Nov. 1855 before W. S. Gregory, Magistrate acting as Coroner, upon view of the body of Jake, a slave of Wm. Browning's, then and there being dead, upon the oaths of Danl. H. Sheldon, John E. McMakin, Spencer Gibbs, Thomas Gore, Daniel S. West (lined out), Matthias Myers, William W. Bobo, Ross Alexander, John Huff, Hiram Gibbs, James F. Ray, Hosea Ray, T. W. Malone and Carry Ray, being a lawful Jury of inquest, who being charged and sworn do say that from the evidence of Wm. Browning, it appears that Jake was on Saturday the 3rd instant laboring under slight mental derangement - that he left home without his permission or knowledge and that he had been complaining for about one month before he left homme, and was under the medical care of Doct. Jesse Lamb. And from the evidence of Doct. Jesse Lamb it appears to our satisfaction that the deceased Jake was laboring under an attack of typhoid fever and had been for some weeks, and that he must have died in a day or two after leaving home. And so the Jurors aforesaid do say that the aforesaid Jake came to his death by mischance from exposure while laboring under a fit of derangement, being also concluded that the necessary assistance could not be rendered.
