The thermometer at the time was below zero.  Her feet and hands were frozen.  Her recovery from the effect of the exposure and excitement is doubtful.  Only two persons reached the scene before the house was burned down, and they too late to do any good. the fire is supposed to have originated in a pan of hot ashes in the woodshed.--Cherry Valley Gazette
