}ss |
The undersigned Coroner of Johnson county, Indiana, did on the 15th day of September, 1897, hold an inquest on the body of Henry Borgemenke, found dead at Edinburg, Johnson County, Indiana, on the 14th day of September, 1897.
Having viewed the body and heard the testimony of witnesses, I find that the deceased came to his death by reason of heart failure, caused by want of stimulant after a long continued debauch.
Deceased was 41 years old, 5 feet 7 or 8 inches high, fair complexion, sandy hair and beard. No valuables found on the body.
