SUDDEN DEATH
Paralysis of the Heart
Mrs. Victoria Ziegenfuss, a German lady 62 years old, was found dead in her bed about daylight this morning by her husband, Wm. Ziegenfuss, at their residence in the hollow, three or four blocks due north of the city cemetery.
Deputy Sheriff Rudershausen learning of the sad affair telegraphed Coroner Youree, who arrived on the Kansas City train at 10 o'clock and immediately proceeded to impanel a jury. The inquest was held at the late residence of the deceased, Dr. I.E. Hardy being foreman of the jury. Wm. Ziegenfuss, husband of the deceased, a peddler by occupation was the only witness examined as to the circumstances of the death. He state that his wife had been in good health excepting a slight indisposition about two weeks ago from which she had recovered. She retired to rest at 9 o'clock last night, was awake and seemingly well at 3:30 o'clock this morning. About daylight the witness, after attending to some work around the house, attempted to arouse his wife and found that she was dead, though yet warm, having died without a struggle or movement, so far as could be ascertained. The witness further testified that the relations of himself and deceased had always been pleasant and this was corroborated by neighbors and friends who were present.
The verdict of the jury was that death was caused by paralysis of the heart.
Deceased leaves besides her husband, two children, a son and daughter, some step children and a sister, Mrs. Brennan to mourn her death, the suddenness adding to the sorrow it occasioned.
