DARLEY ABBEY

INQUEST AT THE SCHOOLROOM. Mr W H Whiston, district coroner, held an inquest at the schoolroom, Darley Abbey, on Saturday night regarding the sudden death of Eliza Tivey, aged 58, wife of a nut and bolt maker living at Darley Abbey, which occurred very suddenly early on Saturday morning. It appeared from the evidence adduced that the deceased on Friday evening was with her husband at the Palmerston Arms, Back Parker-street, Derby and left at 11 o’clock in company with her son to go home to Derby. On the way home Mrs Tivey was taken suddenly ill. Her breathing became very heavy, and she fell to the ground. Her son, Henry Tivey, endeavoured to convey her home, but could not until a commercial traveller named Ward, living at Derby came to his assistance. Between them they got her to her home, but she was unconscious, and died very soon afterwards. Death was due to apoplexy, and the jury returned a verdict to this effect.
