Death From Fright.
A little daughter of Daniel Bowman of Knox township, in this county, of some ten years of age, died on Saturday the 20th inst. [Jan 1865?], under the following melancholy circumstances.
About 3 o'clock in the morning of Friday the 19th, a squad of soldiers visited the house of Daniel Bowman, arrested and carried him off. The child was then, to all appearances, in perfect health. Soon after her father was taken away, however, she began to manifest indisposition, such as is occasioned by a high state of nervous derangement, which continued, but without causing any alarm, until Saturday morning, when the soldiers were seen approaching from the direction of the residence of Jonathan Bowman, (son of Daniel) having the son and brother as a prisoner. Immediately when told by her mother that "Jonathan was also a prisoner," the child went into convulsions, which continued without cessation until about ten o'clock the same evening when she expired.
