Gazette Appeal, Sept. 24, 1897, pg 2
SUICIDE WAS THE VERDICT OF THE CORONER’S JURY
	The sad and tragic death of Mrs. ELIZA RILEY which occurred in our town 
on last Saturday morning; was to many, the saddest and most touching incident 
ever witnessed.
	The evidence at the inquest showed that she had been demented for 
several weeks, in fact she has had demented periods since her childhood.  
During the last few days she has several times attempted to take her life.  
Strychnine had been prescribed several months a go but she had taken only a 
very small part of the medicine.  The family took every precaution to keep the 
poison from her, but she at last secured it and the result is told in the 
following verdict of the coroner’s jury: We the fury find the deceased came to 
her death by poisoning administered by her own hands. And thus ends the saddest 
chapters of a sad life.
