A daughter of Cornelius Furlow of this town, aged 19 years was taken suddenly ill last week at the residence of Wm. E. Porter of Smithville [Chenango Co. NY] where she had been employed several months as a servant and died Friday night.  She had been complaining several days but was up and about the house Friday morning for an hour and a half.  Her remains were brought to this village [Greene, Chenango Co. NY] on Saturday and taken to the Page Brook cemetery [Chenango Co. NY] for burial.  Owing to the suddenness of her death, and what appeared to them other suspicious circumstances, the friends of the deceased did not have her buried on Saturday, but had the body lowered into the grave and watched by two men until Sunday.  Meantime Coroner Wood was notified, a jury summoned and proceeding to Page Brook, the body was examined.  Drs. Johnson and Birdsall, of this village, made an autopsy of the body and after careful examination by the jury and physicians, a verdict was rendered to the effect that deceased came to her death through the result of natural causes.  Mr. Porter and others of the neighborhood wherein the girl died were examined and gave straightforward and reliable testimony relative to the sickness and death of the deceased which left no doubt upon the minds of the jury and fully sustained them in their verdict.
