    • Suspect Glass Caused Death of Hamburg Wife
      By Record Correspondent

      NEW HAMBURG, June 9. Mrs. Edwin Zoeller, New Hamburg, died at her home at 4 o'clock this morning at the age of 54 years.

      An autopsy was performed today at a Kitchener hospital to determine the cause of death due to the fact that it was believed Mrs. Zoeller had swallowed a piece of glass.

      She reported swallowing something hard on Monday. Inspection of a jar from which elderberries had been taken disclosed that the jar had been chipped. X-rays were taken but no glass was discovered. Mrs. Zoeller also was reported to have suffered a heart condition.
