Sudden Death After Jest On Walking Friends
Mr. Seth Taylor of Lyman Maine died suddenly in Chelsea while walking with two gentlemen. A misstep caused a fall, and Taylor quipped about his age before collapsing and dying without a struggle. A remark accompanies Cholera notes from 1839 and 1648 about ships Henry IV and New York near lat 43 30 and similar longitude, sparking speculation.
