Eastern Districts Chronicle Saturday 4 July 1891
An old resident in this township named Thomas McKay, a carpenter, died suddenly in his bed on Monday night last. An inquest was held at the Court House on Tuesday morning before the Resident Magistrate acting as Coroner; and a jury consisting of Messrs. J. Pyke (foreman), W. Dinsdale, and E. Ingram. From the evidence adduced it appeared that the deceased, who had been ailing for some short time previous, having complained of a pain in the region of the heart on one or two occasions, retired to bed at an early hour on the night in question, and at about midnight his wife was awakened from her slumbers by the deceased gasping for breath. She at once apprised her son-in-law, who was living some few yards distant, of the circumstance, and upon returning to the house it was found that death had set in after hearing the evidence the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the deceased Thomas McKay, died from heart disease.
