Odell, Ill (Special) - A paralytic stroke was blamed by a coroner's jury last night for the death of Mrs. Sarah H. Gritton, 64, who was found dead in her home here yesterday afternoon.
The body was discovered by her former husband, John Dondier, who for the past year, had been assisting with the chores about the premises. He was attracted to the house when he found the lights in one of the rooms burning. On investigation he found the body, fully clothed, on the floor, and the radio operating.
Authorities were notified and the body removed to an undertaking establishment where the inquest was held last evening. There was no evidence of violence, while the condition of the body indicated that she had been dead for some time.
