    A woman named Mary Kelly lived at or near Streamstown. She was to go on a certain Thursday with a turkey to the market. On the previous night, she was dreaming that she was starting for the market and that she was tying the turkey's legs. She died her husband's legs securely with a strong cord.
    Next morning, she arose and got ready. Before leaving she shouted at her husband to get up. He stood up, and toppled out of bed head over heels.
