The Chair on Frozen Water: Gloria's Pond and a Quiet Vanishing

Cold and lonely: a wooden folding chair was found sitting upright, sixty yards from shore on the ice of Gloria's Pond with no footprints, no drag marks, and the surrounding ice unbroken - so how did it get there, and why did the town let a forty-six-year-old woman's death be filed under "weather"?
In this episode, we trace the sparse records and local memories that connect a dismissed housekeeper, a missing week’s wages, and a one-day coroner’s inquest that returned a verdict of accidental death. What really happened between January 10 and January 14, 1922 - and who stood to benefit from the silence?
Person: Gloria Hansen
Date: January 14, 1922 (inquest); body found January 11, 1922
Location: Dunnett impoundment known as Gloria's Pond, Dunmore Township
Status: Verdict - accidental death; cause: exposure and immersion
Witness: Robert Dunnett - testified he dismissed Hansen on January 10 and paid two weeks' wages
- A wooden folding chair was found at the center of the frozen pond, sixty yards from the nearest bank, facing east.
- Gloria Hansen was about forty-six years old and had been housekeeper for the Dunnett family for roughly eight years.
- Gloria carried a folding wooden chair to the Dunmore Methodist fellowship hall every Wednesday for six years to unlock the door and arrange seating.
- The boarding house ledger recorded Gloria left a trunk containing one dress, two aprons, a pair of worn boots, and one folding wooden chair.
- The coroner Frederick Alms convened an inquest on January 14, 1922, and filed the case under "weather incidents" with the cause listed as exposure and immersion.
