SEWICKLEY, PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1904
No. 11
IECISI01RERDERED
of Dr. DeWitt B. Nettleton vs
Borough of Sewickley.
BlVES VERDICT FOR $75.00. i
he case in equity between Dr.
Vitt B. Nettleton and the Bor-
h of Sewickley, which has been
ding in Common Pleas Gourt
2 for about a year and a half,
been decided in favor of the
intiff, with a lesser amount than
,t   sued for.   The   case is   an
nesting one, and the facts, as
have learned them, are as f ol-
tn' April,  1901,   Dr. Nettleton

Iward Grawford, a colored man
ing on Ferry street, who had an
tack   of   smallpox..   The   sum-

warrant placed in his hands by
. R. Scott, a constable   in   the
irvice of the borough, which em-

Grawford was kept in  quaran-

of practice during that period and
for   some   time   afterward.      He
rendered a bill for $350 for his
services, payment upon which was
refused.   The reason given for this
refusal was that no contract had
been made between Dr. Nettleton
and the borough, and that the latter was in no way liable for the
same.
The matter hung fire for a time
and an effort was made to have the
county stand the expense; the latter agreed to pay $200 if the borough would assume the balance,
which was refused. The doctor

George Norman, in the employ of
Mr. George E, McGague, of Academy avenue, died at 6 o'clock
Sunday morning at the residence of
Mr. James Gooper, on Centennial

Mr. and Mrs, Norman were of
English extraction, and had been in
this country for some time.    For
several months they had made their
home with Mr. and  Mrs. Gooper.
Mrs.   Norman   possessed   a  fine
physique,   and   was  in   excellent
health until a few weeks ago, when
she was taken to the West Penn
Hospital to be treated for ovarian
trouble.   She was operated upon
and came back home, making weekly visits for treatment.   However,
she did not seem to improve, and
two weeks ago she went up for
treatment.    She   underwent   two
operations last week, on Tuesday
and Thursday, from which she did
not   rally,  and died at  the   time
stated.
Mrs. Norman was a woman of
lovable qualities, and Mr. and Mrs.
Gooper had became very much
attached to her and keenly regret
her departure. She also leaves a
devoted husband to mourn her loss.
The funeral took place from her
late home and was conducted by
Rev. H. B. Rankin, pastor of the
Baptist Ghurch, of which she was a
member.' Interment was made in
Sewickley Gemetery.
