Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, September 1, 1904

On going to press we learn with much regret of the death of Miss Ruby 
Herzfeld of Mobile, a niece of Hon. Sol D. Bloch of Camden, and we 
deeply sympathize with the family in this great sorrow that has come 
to them.


Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, September 8, 1904
Ruby Herzfeld Dies of Accidental Poisoning.
  At 2 o'clock this afternoon, at the family home, 751 Government 
Street after an illness of a little over a week, due to a fatal
mistake, Miss Ruby Herzfeld passed away. Miss Herzfeld returned home
on the afternoon of Sunday, August 21, and through a mistake, took a
tablet of bi-chloride of mercury, intending to take another tablet
for indigestion. As soon as the terrible mistake was discovered, 
physicians were summoned and relief attempted. The physicians did all 
possible and decided it would be at least nine days before the patient 
could be pronounced out of danger. The efforts of the physicians were 
unavailing, however, and the young lady, only 18 years of age, passed 
away, a victim of her own mistake.
  Deceased was a most estimable young lady, known and loved by a large 
circle of friends. She was the idolized daughter of Mr. Alfred 
Herzfeld and a niece of the Messrs. Bloch, of this city. She was the 
centre of a large circle in which she was recognized for her 
educational and womanly qualifications. She was a fine musician and on 
many occasions her skill was utilized in this city for sweet charity. 
Besides her father she is survived by brothers and sisters as follows: 
- Montrose, Julius, Addie, Flossie Herzfeld and many other relatives 
in Mobile, Birmingham and Selma.  -  Mobile Herald of Aug. 30th.

Miss Herzfeld was also a niece of Ho. Sol D. Bloch of our city. Her 
mother was Miss Dora Bloch of Camden.
