New York, 1895
The body of a woman was found on the shore of Gardiner's Bay at Peconic on Saturday morning. Coronor Hartranft's jury rendered a verdict that death was due to drowning. The body was clad in a black alpaca skirt, a light-brown jacket, a gingham apron, and new shoes. It is supposed to be that of a servant who was drowned last February while crossing the ice from Sag Harbor to Shelter Island. Two children were with her. She succeeded in saving their lives, but lost her own in the effort.
—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 24, 1895, p. 1.
