  Notes	FOUND DEAD IN BED Henry Brown, colored, was found dead in bed at his home, 1110 Grape Avenue, at noon today. The condition of the body was awful, and the man's death was discovered by the stench, that was so sickening as to cause an investigation by the neighbors. Brown was last seen on Saturday and as he was subject to attacks of epilepsy it is believed he died during one of these attacks. His body was greatly swollen and covered with vermin. He lived alone, and probably died on Saturday or Sunday. Grape Avenue is a narrow street between Sixth and Wallace, and Brown’s house was near Herr. Sarah Dockens, the grandmother of the dead man, was found dead in the same house a year ago. She left the property to Brown, who recently sold it. The body was buried this afternoon.
