Mrs. E Gavigan is Found L ifeless

Dies in the kitchen Host Time After Walking on Errand

 

 Argyle. -- (Times Special Services) -- Heart trouble and possibly the effect of a piece of meat lodged in the throat are seen as factors in the deat h of Mrs. Edward Gavigan, aged 54, who was found lifeless in the Kitchen of her home here at 4 Thursday afternoon. Her husband, coming home, discovered the body on the floor. Mrs. had been to the busi ness district in Argyle a short time before and had walked home, arriving when no other members of the family were in the House.

 

Although examination revealed that Mrs. Gavigan had b een eating shortly before she was stricken, the attending physician reports incomplete evidence of strangulation and feels that heart trouble is the more probable death cause. Mrs. Gavigan had not bee n in the best of health for some time.
