DEATH DISCLOSES CASE OF EXTREME DESTITUTION
In the death of Jonas Setzer at Bradford Tuesday brings to light a case of destitution the equal of which has never been reported in this county. The Bradford Star - Record has the following to say in regard to the case:
"Mr. and Mrs, Setzer, he 84 years old and his wife a few years younger but crippled and able to get about only by using a cane, lived in a small cottage at a point on West Washington street extension, a short distance from the former Wilson greenhouses. Mrs. Wilson had very kindly visited the aged couple from time to time and looked after them the best she could. So far as it is possible to learn from the coroner and others, the aged man died at about 4 o'clock yesterday morning. It was not, however, until late yesterday afternoon that the wife attracted the attention of a delivery boy passing in the street that word was carried to Mrs. Wilson that the aged man was dead and help was needed. At about the same time there appeared a son, William Setzer, of the West Branch, with a load of wood for the couple. When the son and Mrs. Wilson reached the house they found the aged man dead in bed in a small front room, while the aged wife was seated near a kitchen stove in which there was but little fire. From the condition of the body, it was apparent that the man's hands were both frozen, undoubtedly before he had died, as the room in that part of the cottage was very cold.
"It at once became apparent lo those who visited the home of the couple that both had been poorly nourished as well as had been sufferers from the cold. "Jonas Setzer had been a resident of this city and vicinity for the past 23 years. He was a veteran of the Civil war and was well and favorably known."
