| ONE LEGGED FATALITY
An inquest has been held in Lurgan, (Ireland), on Fanny Leathem, a single
woman, aged seventy, who was found burned to death in the bedroom above her shop with an open Bible in front of her and a burnt candle on the floor. She had only one leg the other having been amputated above the knee.
In the bedroom were six wooden legs one, which she had evidently been
using before her death, was lying against the chair. Her only leg was entangled
in an old clothes-horse, which, while she was leaning upon it had evidently given way, upsetting the washstand and the candle. A verdict of '"Death by Suffocation" was returned.

The information on this website is free and will always be so. However, there are many documents and records that we would like to show here that are only available for sale. If you would like to make a donation to the Lurgan Ancestry project, however small (or large!), to enable us to acquire these records, it would be very much appreciated. We could cover our pages in Goggle Ads to raise money, but feel that this would detract from the information we are trying to provide.
You can also help us to raise money by purchasing some of our ebooks on our sister website: www.genealogyebooks.com
The Lurgan Ancestry Project is a not for profit website, all monies raised from the site go back into it.
