Mrs. Davenport had not enjoyed the best of health for a long time, but was feeling exceptionally well after coming to Newport. Some hours previous to her death, she was taken with a distress spell. Being subject to these attacks, no especial alarm was felt at first, but she rapidly grew worse, and despite everything that could possibly be done for her she died after about twelve hours of suffering.
