Wardell, Alborn (Died)

Alborn Wardell, of Beamsville, about 73 years of age, was found dead in bed at noon on Wednesday last, apparently having died sometime during the night. Mr. Wardall had been living alone in rooms in the Couse Block, and a neighbour, Mrs. McDougall, noticed that a room usually locked when Mr. Wardell was out, was open. At first she thought he had forgotten, but when he did not come in for dinner, thought he might be ill. On going into the room, Mrs. McDougall was horrified to find Mr. Wardell lying lifeless in bed. Dr. Elmore, the Coroner was summoned and stated that Mr. Wardell had been dead several hours when the body was found.
