McClure - Lyda Wilson


Source: Crawfordsville Journal 9-30-1895

 
Coroner Barcus was summoned to Darlington this morning to hold  an inquest in the case of Mrs. John McCLURE who was found dead  there this morning in her own bedroom. Mrs. McClure was a strong  and apparently healthy woman of about 20, having married John  McClure about a year ago last July. She was in seemingly good  health this morning when her husband went to his work, he being a  plumber. An hour later she was found dead in the bedroom. It is  supposed that death was accidentally caused by the use of some  drug, the properties of which she was ignorant. - typed by kbz

Dr. Barcus is home from Darlington where he went to hold an inquest over the remains of Mrs. Jno. McClure who died very suddenly yesterday.  Mrs. McClure was 21 years of age and in excellent health.  Her neighbors found her yesterday morning in her bed room dead.  Mrs. McClure's death was similar to that of Mrs. Brown's of this city who was found dead in her bedroom west of the college campus last summer, except she used no drugs, nor instruments but simply cold water which so shocked her nervous system as to cause her sudden death.  The coroners jury rendered a verdict in accordance with these facts.  - typed by kbz
