The following dispatch from Noblesville contains particulars of the death of Mrs. Horace Brown, which was mentioned briefly in Wednesday's Democrat: Noblesville, Ind., September, 7. — Mrs. Horace Brown died at her home here this morning at 10 o’clock of blood poisoning, the result of a spider bite. While on her way home last week from Yellowstone National Park she arose from a Pullman sleeper to find her lip swollen from the bite of a poisonous spider. On consulting the railroad company’s physician, in Chicago, she received treatment and was sent to her home. Although confined to her bed, she rested well until last night when a decided change for the worse took place, she became unconsciuos, remaining so until the end. Mrs. Brown was one of the most popular women in social circles in Noblesville. She was Miss Minnie Stackhouse, of Idianapolis, where her mother still lives. She was forty-two years old and became the wife of Mr. Brown twenty years ago. Two brothers and two sisters, besides the mother and husband survive her. One brother lives in Indianapolis, one in California, one slater in Terre Haute, and the other abroad.
