In Toddsville [Otsego Co. NY], Nov. 13th, 1871, Mary Horth Murdock wife of John Murdock in the 23d year of her age. Mrs. M's illness was peculiarly distressing, adopting by advice (not medical) severe treatment to remove what was supposed to be a cancer, but which proved on a post mortem examination to be a harmless tumor, caused her great suffering and brought her to an untimely grave. But her friends have the consoling thought that she died in the faith of the Redeemer. Bright visions seemed hovering around her dying moments, judging from expressions that she from time to time made. A short time previous to her spirit taking its flight, she repeated these words: "Jesus calls, how sweet the sound." Two ladies sang a part of that beautiful hymn: "Bear me away on your snowy wings," at the conclusion of which she passed over the river to join the happy throng "Where white robed angels stand." Her husband and relatives feel their loss deeply and have the sympathy of the whole community. [Freeman's Journal, Cooperstown, NY, Nov. 23, 1871]
A Sad Case: On inquiry into the causes which led to the death of the young married woman of Toddsville , whose obituary notice is published this week, we learned that she consulted with a physician of this village, who assured her that she had nothing to fear from a small tumor on the breast, which some of her relatives thought might be a cancer. Notwithstanding this, she was induced to consult a "cancer doctor" by the name of McDonald, residing in Middlefield [Otsego Co. NY], who applied a plaster to her breast. Soon after she was taken sick and was advised by a physician who was called to remove the plaster, as the probable cause. This she, under advice of some of her friends, declined to do. The result was that after wearing it a week she died. Dr. Hills of Exeter, held a Coroner's inquest on the body and the facts in the case revealed on postmortem examination, pointed to the plaster as the cause of her death. The deceased appeared to have been poisoned by the absorption into the system of some mineral poison. The plaster had been burned up by a relative. Portions of the body were sent to Doct. Porter of Albany for examination. McDonald has been arrested and held to bail. When will people learn to take advice in such serious matters only from some regular physician? As to the tribe of "cancer doctors," no one of them ever effected a cure. Freeman's Journal

Dr. Close, of Hamden [Delaware Co.

His condition seemed to justify his statement. He was cared for and Monday was taken to the County Poor House.
