Saturday June 1, 1881 p. 3 A SAD DEATH MRS. WILLIAM THOMAS, OF INDEPENDENCE, ACCIDENTALLY POISONED On last Saturday Mrs. William Thomas [Sarah], of Independence Township, returned with her children from Sunday school, and feeling unwell determined to take a dose of quinine. The quinine was in a bottle which was kept locked in a trunk with other medicines, so that the children could not get at them. In the trunk there was also a small bottle of strychnine. Mrs. Thomas took from the trunk what she supposed to be the bottle of quinine and swallowed a large dose from it. She had no sooner done so than she realized that she had mistaken the bottle and had taken strychnine instead of quinine. Nearly frantic, she awakened her husband who had been sick for several weeks and who was then sleeping on the bed. He at once gave her such remedies as were at hand, and then mounting a horse, rode to Gaynor City, about two miles and a half distant, for Dr. B. F. Goodson. The doctor was absent visiting a patient and Mr. Thomas followed him and after some unavoidable delays found him. The two hastened to the dying woman’s bedside, but the interval that had elapsed had given the poison time to do its fatal work and their efforts were unavailing. Death ensued a little after noon. The deceased leaves a family of three small children, the oldest being a boy of not more than eight years of age. The sad event has cast a gloom over the entire community and every heart is moved by the touching spectacle of the bereaved husband and the motherless children who have been so suddenly and so deeply afflicted.

----William R. Wood, who married a Hopkins widow [Mrs. Lou A. Apthorp] and worked here some years at the carriage builder’s trade, died at Maryville last Thursday. The Democrat says: “William R. Wood, who was recently sent here by the authorities of Gentry county, on the grounds that he claimed to be a citizen of this county, died at the poor farm last Thursday, and was buried at the poor farm cemetery Friday. He died of consumption. He had been an inmate of the poor farm about one week. Wood had been well to do. He was a carriage builder by trade, and had been quite well off at one time. But reverses of fortune came upon him, and his soul took flight, let us hope to the brighter realms, from the county poor farm.
