Obituary: Died Sunday in Her Bed. Mrs. Nancy QUARTON was found dead in her bed at her home in Chesterfield, Sunday morning. She was the wife of Thomas QUARTON, an old and well known citizen of that place, and was about 60 years old. Mrs. QUARTON had not been well for sometime, but was feeling better than usual Thursday, doing quite a large day's work. Her death was probably due to apoplexy.
