Is Believed That Monkton Woman Fell While Climbing Over Fence.
The body of Miss Eliza Jane McBride, an aged woman, was found in the snow this week near her home at Monkton. lit is believed that she fell while climbing over a fence and was unable to get up and died from exposure. The body was discovered by Ellsworth Smith, a negro who for years had carried food to the woman's home. She had been missing since Tuesday. Several years ago the woman's sister, Miss Harriett McBride, was found dead in her home, and it was believed that she had been attacked by two vicious dogs which were kept in the house.
The two women lived alone and were recluses. They apparently had no companions except the dogs. They formerly lived at Texas and years ago removed to a small place near Monkton. Harriet McBride left an estate valued at $10,000. He rsister, after death, continued to live a lonely life.
Just'ce William E. Anderson, of White Hall, summoned a jury of inquest, which rendered a verdict that Miss McBride died from the effects of exposure.
