A Gentleman Found Drowned At Burnley

Early on Tuesday morning the dead body of a gentleman named Joseph Edmondson, of Roggerham Gate, near Worsthorne, was found in the river Brun, near Royle Road, Stoneyholme, Burnley. The body was lying about two feet from the side of the river in only one foot of water, the head being covered. As soon as the body was taken out of the river it was found that there had been a large gash on the forehead over the right eye, but this is supposed to have been received, not from any foul play, but from falling on a stone in the water. It is supposed that the deceased lost his way and fell into the river. He was formerly employed by the North of England Preserve Company, but for some time past had lived a retired life. He had a considerable amount of money in his pockets. He was about 51 years of age, and leaves a widow and three children.
