EARLY in 2020, I came across the death of Jemima Kiley, the wife of herbalist Roland Kiley. Jemima died on January 19, 1892, and was interred at Colchester Cemetery in the week ending January 29. Full details of her inquest appeared in the local newspaper. Jemima was said to have suffered from flu and bronchitis for 12 days prior to her death. Her husband said that on the day in question, he had carried Jemima downstairs to the sofa. He then went out for a walk and on his return, he found Jemima dead where he had left her an hour or so before. During the inquest, Roland says they had been married for 18 years and had moved to Colchester six months previously.
