On 6th Aug., an advertisement appeared in the 'Telegraph' from C.L. seeking work as a farm hand. Mrs. John STOCKFORD of Hibernia (Queens Co.) answered it and the man went to Hibernia on the 7th and was engaged. He gave his name as Charles LANE, was about 35 or 40 years of age, seemed to be an educated respectable man and an Englishman. He took his tea at Mrs. Stockford's and went to bed apparently in good health, had breakfast in the morn. and then went out to work in a turnip patch. A few hours later he was found dead. Coroner Albert Palmer was summoned and he decided that the man had died from natural causes and that an inquest was unnecessary. On Lane's person was found a little money and letters from his parents at Monkton, Dorsetshire, England. The body was interred in the F.C.B. burial ground at Hibernia and the relatives were communicated with.
