WOMAN’S LONELY DEATH
Rotorua, June 30. Death in a lonely house on theshores of Lake Roto Elm overtook Muriel Ida Angell, a married Woman, some time between 8.30 a.m. on Saturday and 5.30 p.m. on Wednesday evening. Her little daughter, 21 years'old, was found asleep beside her when her husband made the tragic discovery on Wednesday evening. The child was well, but evidently had been crying and had not been able to obtain food. The child was too young to be able to tell the sad tale of the lonely death which had overtaken the unfortunate mother. When discovered! by her husband Mrs Angell was lying upon the bed fully dressed." The body disclosed no signs of violence. The husband had left home at 8.30 on Saturday morning and did not return till after dark on Wednesday. The bouse is situated in a very lonely spot on the shores of the lake, the nearest neighbour being three miles away, which probably accounts for the death remaining undiscovered. The police are investigating the circumstances.
