SAD END OF AN OLD WOMAN
(The Derby Mercury dated May 1st 1895)
On Sunday morning Elizabeth Cherry, aged 77 years, widow of Edward Cherry, miner, of Clay Cross met with her death under very distressing circumstances at the house of John Towle, Broadley Terrace. Deceased had been an inmate of the Chesterfield Union up to Easter Monday, when she was released at her own request. On Saturday night deceased retired to rest, but about 2.35am John Towle was aroused by the barking of his dog. On going downstairs he found deceased in flames, and the place was full of smoke. Deceased was badly burnt, and she eventually died. On Monday Mr Coroner Busby held an inquest at the Prince of Wales. The evidence was similar to the above. A verdict of 'accidental death' was returned.
