Feb. 28, 1880 Obituary We regret that it is our province to record the death of Miss Hattie Leigh daughter of John Leigh Esq. Miss Leigh has been a sufferer for nearly four years. But a sever attack of inflammatory rheumatism, about two years ago, left her with chorea. A year since a second attack was more severe, followed by convulsions. After this last illness, no dangerous results were apprehended until Dr. Allen discovered symptoms of heart disease. When she was taken down with typhoid fever. On Wednesday last Dr. Moriarty held a consultation with him and on Friday Drs. Coleman and Allen consulted. It was the opinion of both Drs. Moriarty and Coleman that the course of treatment was all that could be. Saturday morning Miss Leigh, was decidedly better, but towards night, she grew faint and weak. Dr. Allen was sent for at 4 a.m. but arrived only to find her dead. There is no doubt that the immediate cause of her death was the heart disease spoken of, superinduced by inflammatory rheumatism. She was buried on Thursday at the Protestant burying ground, Rev. Mr. Burdick officiating. The very large assembly of friends present testified more earnestly than words, to the deep sympathy, felt for the bereaved family. Brookside Died, in South Walnut, Ill. Feb 20th Louise Gowran
wife of Edward Gowran, and daughter of Hiram Allen of Brookside. A letter
was mailed to inform her parents of her illness, but did not reach them
until after a telegram was received by them announcing her death.
Her remains were brought here to rest once more beneath the parental roof,
ere being conveyed to their last resting-place by her former associates
and schoolmates. Rev. Mr. Couch delivered the funeral discourse to-day
(Wednesday) to a large and sympathetic audience.
