Joseph Hart, aged about 30, has been staying for about two weeks at the farm of Elijah Abel, on Bashan Hill, Bozrah, was found dead in bed there Friday morning about 7 o'clock. When Dr..Johnson as medical exam- iner had viewed the body, he pro- nounced the cause of death as apoplexy and gave it as his opinion that the man had been dead probably two or three hours when found. Not much is known about the dead man, but he has a brother, Moses, in Montville, and also a_married sister in that town.. Hart had been employ- ed around sawmills. Hart, who was a large, heavy man, weighing about 200 pounds,was around all day Thursday and went to bed ap- parently in good health. In the morn- ing when he did not appear one of the other farmhands went to cell him and found him dead In bed. First Selcct- man John H.
