Died From A Fall

Mrs. Maria Magee Succumbs to a Slight Accident

Mrs. Maria Magee of Marlboro died on Friday as the result of injuries sustained by a fall at the Central railroad station at Freehold on the Monday previous. Mrs. Magee was waiting for a train and was sitting on a low settee when she slipped to the floor. The fall seemed very slight but Mrs. Magee’s thigh was broken. She had been suffering for a number of years with diabetes and the accident caused serious complications. From the first there was no hope of her recovery.
