Elizabeth McDonald



Another name has been added to the list of the victims of the Chatsworth horror by the death last Sunday evening at Piper City of Miss Eliza McDonald, of this village. Miss McDonald suffered from a broken arm, a severe nervous shock, and the exposure consequent upon several hours spent on the damp ground and in the rain. From the very first, fears were entertained that she could not recover. Kind friends and relatives were constantly at her bedside, but the most watchful care and tender nursing could not keep off the inevitable. She was one of the best known public school teachers of this vicinity. He face has been a familiar one at the county institutes form many years. The funeral services were held at the Congregational church and were conducted by Rev. Wm. Kettle.
