• Notes

  North Tonawanda NY Evening News - 1/29/1914 Two hours after she returned from a dance yesterday morning, sixteen year-old Sarah Muchow was found dead in bed by her mother at their home in Clarence Center. Suffocation brught on by an epileptic fit is be- lieved to have caused death. Miss Muchow was subject to fits. She attended a dance at a neighbor-ing farmhouse the night before and returned home at 5 o'clock. At 6 o'clock Mrs. Muchow called the girl's sister and in passing Sarah's room saw she was sleeping soundly. An hour later Mrs. Muchow went up to the room to find her daughter face downward on the pillow. The girl was dead. It is believed she was seized with a fit brought on by the excitement of the dance. While in this condition she probably buried her head in the pillow. Medical Examiner Cook issued cer- tificate of death by suffocation. The body was turned over to the parents, who are well known in the commun- ity.
