Note 1: Death TURNER JAMES T 4894/1860 Parents ARTHUR & CAROLINE MUSWELLBROOK Maitland Mercury 14 Feb 1860 Death from the Cumberland Cattle Disease.-On the fifth instant, Mr James Turner, of Halls Creek, came to his death in a very short period from this malignant disease The following are the particulars A flock of fat sheep travelling to market camped in his stockyard, when one of the sheep was reported by the shepherd as being smothered the shepherd advised Mr Turner to skin the sheep, as it was very fat. This Turner did, and when the sheep was skinned, observing it to be excellent mutton, he resolved to salt it for use. While chopping up the sheep he wounded himself slightly In the right hand with one of the bones, but thought nothing of It at the time-the wound being so very trifling. After salting the mutton, however, he complained of pain In the hand and arm, which rapidly extended to the shoulder, producing a swelling under the arm The pain then extended down the side with great rapidity, causing a difficulty in breathing. The pain continuing, and Mr Turner becoming rapidly worse, Dr Thornton, of Muswellbrook, was sent for on the Monday following, but Mr Turner died on that day, and Dr Thornton, learning on his way that he was dead, did not proceed, but re traced his steps. It appears remarkable that In a case of this nature no inquest should have been held The matter requires explanation, which Dr. Thornton, as coroner, is probably able and willing to afford. An inquiry into a case of this kind might prove very useful to the community, in the way of putting them on their guard against this dreadful complaint Mr Turner we understand, has left a wife and nine children to deplore their loss Died leaving a wife and nine children!!
