VICTIM OF HEART DISEASE
Mrs. Nancy Wharton Found Dead by Her Husband.
When Benjamin P. Wharton returned to his home, 235 South Tompkins Street, shortly after six o'clock Tuesday evening from his work at the Frechtling and Morner Factory, he found his wife, Nancy Wharton cold in death on the floor of the kitchen.
When Mr. Wharton left home in the morning, Mrs. Wharton was as well as usual and he did not return at noon having taken his dinner with him as is his custom.
Mrs. Wharton was last noticed alive by neighbors who saw her going about her household duties at the noon hour.
Immediately upon making the discovery Mr. Wharton summoned the family doctor, George W. Fleming.
The physician arrived at the home before 7 o'clock but his labors were not needed as he pronounced life to have left the body several hours before. The exact hour of her death will probably never be known.
Mrs. Wharton has long been afflicted with heart trouble and her death was due to this cause in the form of fatty degeneration of the heart as Mrs. Wharton was a very - fleshy woman.
There was evidently no struggle of any consequence as nothing in the room near where her body lay had had been disturbed except a chair which was overturned.
Mrs. Wharton was about sixty years of age and was the mother of one daughter, Miss Bertha, who went to Chicago a number of years ago and is now head stenographer in the office of a large firm there.
She has been notified of the death of her mother and funeral arrangements will not be made until she arrives.
The deceased was a sister of Burton Gillespie residing south of the city and an aunt of Arthur Gillispie the South Harrison Street barber.
Coroner Bass was notified last night and arrived from Gwynneville late in the night and held a preliminary examination. The inquest will be held on Saturday.
The body is in charge of R.T. Stewart and the funeral will be under his direction.
