MOURNED AS DEAD

WOMAN’S UNEXPECTED RETURN A woman who, it had been supposed, died six months previously, recently reappeared among her former neighbours in England, some of whom have not yet completely recovered from the shock of her visit. She is Mrs Fielding, of Blackpool. Four or five years ago Mrs Fieidh.g went ■ to another district, but she made regular visits to her former neighbours. She became eo ill last year that she was unable to continue her visits, and when a milkman told one of her fonher neighbours that ho would be round with tho milk earlier than usual on the following day because other neighbours were going tq Mrs Fielding’s funeral, her death was deeply mourned throughout the district. On the day of the funeral respect to Mrs Fielding’s memory was shown by neighbours drawing window blinds. Mrs Fielding, “ like an apparition,” appeared a few weeks ago amid her old neighbours. Some of them were so amazed and disinclined to believe, that she had not passed away that they had to touch her before they wore convinced that ehe was alive. It was another , Mrs Fielding who had died six months previously', and the reason why her namesake had not been seen since then was that she had been confined to her home through illness nearly all that time.
