She had not been well for several weeks having suffered some with weakness of the heart. She was accustomed to getting up out of bed at night when restless and going to an adjoining room and sitting by the fire. Her daughter, Mrs. Underwood, slept in a bed nearby that of the one occupied by Mrs. Carter and she usually awakened when Mrs. Carter would suffer an attack. However, last night she did not awake until after her mother had gotten up and gone to an adjoining room. When she awoke she found her mother was not in the bed. Knowing she had gotten up, Mrs. Underwood went to the adjoining room and found her mother sitting in her chair. She noticed that her head had fallen to one side and going to her, she found her dead.
