In this village [Cooperstown, Otsego Co. NY], April 11, 1878, Mary C. [Face] wife of Henry Face, aged 45 years.
On Thursday morning last about 9 o'clock, Dr. Westlake in company with Officer Merrills, went to the house of Henry Face, corner of Beaver and Delaware streets to pay a professional call on him. As they entered the house their attention was arrested by the peculiar position of the body of Mrs. F., a woman who, we regret to learn, at times indulged ferly in strong drink, and which will be seen by the verdict of the coroner's jury was the probable cause of her death. When found by the Doctor she was reclining on her knees beside the stove, with her head resting on a stick of wood which stood up against the stove, she evidently having fallen from a chair nearby in which she had been sitting. Proper steps were immediately taken to resuscitate life, but they were unavailing. Coroner Parshall was notified, took charge of the body and empaneled a jury, who after viewing the body and hearing the evidence, rendered the following verdict: That the deceased was a person of intemperate habits; had drank freely the previous day and night; became drunk, and fell from her chair in a position which produced an obstruction to the return of blood from the head, producing asphyxia and death.
A circumstance like the above speaks louder than any argument which can be submitted to those who know that strong drink is becoming their master. Cut loose, while you have the strength of will!
