Show DROWNED NEAR PORTADOWN. A sad accident occurred at a place called Clon-core, Clon-core, near Portadown, the victim being &. widow named Abigal Clifford, aged about 59 years. It seems that deceased was going to a neighbor's house, a short distance from her own home, leaving leav-ing her boy, aged 14 year3, in bed ill of pneumonia, and she did not return that night. A search being made in the morning, she was found in a drain adjoining ad-joining a rampart that leads from her house. She was shortsighted, and it is supposed that she missed her way, falling amongst the brambles into the drain. An inquest was held before W. H. Atkinson, At-kinson, Esq., coroner of the district of the County Armagh, when the jury found that deceased was accidentally drowned. |
