She Rose From The Dead

New York, 1895

Mrs. Bowden Restored to Life After the Undertaker Had Come.

Mrs. Bowden, 75 years old, who lives with her daughter, Mrs. Harvey [Hallock], in Bridgehampton, seemed to be stricken with heart failure Sunday. The family physician did all he could, but she sank rapidly. The doctor listened vainly for the heart-beats, and at last pronounced the woman dead.

The undertaker was about to measure the body for a casket when one of the family insisted that the woman might not be dead. The physician, to satisfy him, injected a heart restorative. There was a perceptible movement of the eyelids and the woman's breast moved up and down faintly. Soon she began to breathe, and finally opened her eyes.

Those about the bedside watched in amazement. The woman soon got up, and in less than an hour was walking about the room. Mrs. Bowden says the attack seemed like a fainting spell.

Note: Probably says Mrs. Harvey Hallock. It's always unfortunate when a little piece is missing like that!
