Provided you're asking about the classic short story The Boarded Window by Ambrose Bierce, the irony (or at least one example of it) is that the frontiersman mistakes his wife's illness for death and in the process of preparing her body for a morning burial, he inadvertently bring about her actual death. (Specifically, he ties her hand with ribbon and lays her prone body near an open window where she is attacked and killed by a mountain lion during the night).

"The Boarded Window" by Ambrose Bierce contains irony in the revelation that the neighbor who is feared and suspected by the villagers is actually a harmless figure, while the protagonist who belongs to that very group meets a tragic end due to misunderstanding. This twist shows how appearances can be deceiving and how prejudice and fear can lead to unjust outcomes.
