Miss Emma Holtham Of Netawaka, Died In The Night Time. A Coroner's Jury Finds That She Came To Her Death From "Natural Causes." Last Saturday morning the town of Netawaka was thrown into intense excitement upon receipt of the intelligence that Miss Emma Roselind Holtham had been found dead in her room, at the Netawaka House - it being then generally supposed that she had committed suicide by the inhaling of chloroform. A messenger was at once sent for Dr. Scott, coroner, that an inquest might be held, to determine whether or not she had taken her life by her own hand .... Caroline Baughn : "Am the proprietress of Netawaka House; deceased Emma Holtham, is my daughter; was about seven o'clock when I sent Albert (my son) to awaken her; he failed; I then went with him; we endeavored to awaken her by striking on the door, rattling the latch, ect.; told Allie she must have gone to some of the neighbor's; He looked through a knot hole in a partition wall and said, "Ma, Em's in bed, and I believe she is dead." We then flew against the door and it gave way. I shook her and called "Emma, do wake up", then felt her hands and found them rigid, sent at once for Drs. Paddock & Funchess, thought she had taken chloroform; had been despondent for twelve months past; have thought she would cry herself to death; has cried till she fainted in my arms, seldom laughed or appeared cheerful; had been a good singer, have not heard her sing for sixteen months; (here the mother broke into a heart rendering wail). I know she has died from a broken heart; grief stricken - I knew to well! .... It is indeed a sad case of death. Miss Emma Holtham, once a bright, handsome, winning girl, died betrayed, broken-hearted, grief stricken: She has fallen a victim, not to a fell disease; not to the assassin's knife - but to a base, false betrayer, and to an unchristian, unrighteous, false public sentiment, which, while it excuses the betrayer and receives him back into society with open arms, places the ban of ostracism upon the betrayed.... The remains were interred in the Netawaka cemetery last Sabbath ... The deceased was a little over 25 years of age at the time of her death. The Holton Recorder, Thursday, December 6, 1877.
