Death

A sad accident occurred in Smyrna [Chenango Co. NY] Nov. 20th.  Miss Emeline Dunbar aged 21 years, who was living in the family of Soloman Billings, started with his horse and wagon to visit her mother.  On reaching Collins Brook, the bridge was found to be so defective that she attempted to ford the stream, which was swollen by the recent rains.  The water at the point where she attempted to cross was about 4-1/2 feet deep.  It is supposed that the wagon was swept away by the rapid current and overturned, throwing her into the water.  The horse was discovered soon after with the broken thills attached, which led to a search for the poor girl, but the body was not found until Sunday morning, when it was discovered about half a mile below the bridge, where it had floated and lodged.
