Mrs. Mabel Johnston, wife of A.J. Johnston, who resides about a mile south of the village of Afton [Chenango Co., NY], died on the night of the 18th inst., after a few hours illness. It was a well known fact that her husband had been in the habit of abusing his wife and children in a most inhuman manner, and suspicions were roused that there had been foul play. An inquest was held, and the evidence showed a beastly cruelty on the part of Johnston towards his family. The jury found that "deceased came to her death by the visitation of God in the form of apoplexy, that in our opinion, said death was caused or hastened by continual abuse and ill treatment from her husband, Andrew Johnston." Deceased is spoken of as an estimable woman, and the community are indignant at the treatment she has received. She leaves three children, two of them small. [Chenango Union, May 26, 1881]
