Woman Known as William Howard Found Dead in Canandaigua
In Canandaigua Ontario county New York a person known five years as William Howard died suddenly. The supposed man was about sixty and married to a woman known as Mrs Howard. Two children were born to the supposed wife. The dead woman worked for farmers nearby and friends suspected nothing. The cause of death is a mystery. The tablets were taken for stomach affection and acted quickly. The medicine came from Wellsville New York where relatives reside. Light may be shed at an inquest as to the woman’s true name and past. Two half brothers attended the funeral but gave no details. An inquest is expected to reveal more. It was learned that the oldest Howard child was adopted and that the individual known as William Howard was Alice M. Howard who reportedly married Edith Dyer in 1842.
