The coroner’s investigation of the death of Julia Bodkin, of Wingate, came to nothing. An Indianapolis chemist examined the stomach for poison but no trace of it was found. The doctors cannot give a reasonable explanation of the death, however. - kbz

Julia Ann, wife of George W. Bodkin, was taken seriously ill on Friday afternoon and died at 8 o’clock Saturday night, aged 42 years. The best medical aid was summoned and everything done that was possible, but the case baffled all and after an autopsy the physicians say they do not know the cause of death. The funeral was conducted from the Christian Church Monday afternoon with religious services by Elder Powell. Interment was at the Pleasant Hill Christian Cemetery. She leaves a husband, two children and brothers and sisters to mourn her untimely end. -s
