FOUND DEAD -- Neighbor Woman Made a Ghastly Discovery Thursday at Canfield -- Coronor Says the Victim Died a Natural Death -- A Pioneer Resident.

 Mrs. George Rupright, 76 years old, residing near Canfield was found dead in her home Thursday morning at 10:30 by a neighbor, Mrs. Mary Ogline.  After investigating the death, Coroner Klyne pronunced a verdict at death from natural causes.
 Mrs. Rupright had been in ill health for several years.  She lived by herself in a house near the Canfield cemetery.  Wednesday evening Mrs. Ogline called upon her and after remaining an hour returned to her home.  That was the last seen of Mrs. Rupright alive.  When found the body was lying on the floor of the living room, near the stove.  The body was clothed in the night garment.  This garment was wet and supposition is that Mrs. Rupright had been wandering about out doors.
 Mrs. Rupright leaves no children.  Her husband passed away a year ago.  Three brothers and sisters survive: Wm. Hollabaugh of New Waterford, Henry of Loveland, Edward of Canfield, Freeman of Rosmont, Mrs. Catherine King of West Middlesex, Pa., Mrs. Sarah Young of Hubbard, Mrs. Peter Bailey of New Buffalo, and Mrs. Betsy Dufendurfer of Coldwater, Mich.
 Sheriff DeNormandle and Chief Mcdowell accompanied Coroner Klyne to Canfield late Thursday afternoon to investigate the case as there was a report to the effect that the woman  had been poisoned.  This rumor is fully disproved.
