About Eliza Shelby

   The Late Mrs. SELBY.

Mrs. Eliza SELBY of West Essa died at her residence on Tuesday, aged 56
years. She leaves a family of one son and five daughters to mourn her loss.
A remarkable incident occurred on the evening preceeding the illness of the
deceased. A large old fashioned clock in the dining room of her residence
that had been silent for many years suddenly struck "four" so distinctly
that it could be heard in any part of the house. Mrs. SELBY immediately
took ill and died at four o'clock on the same day of the following week.
All attempts to make the clock strike again have been unsuccessful.
