MRS. LOVETT
May 2, 1897

The woman found dead in Sulphur spring Valley and reported to the 
Pearce authorities is said to be a Mrs. Lovett, who married here 
not a week since. It appears that the bridal couple had camped 
near the CCC Ranch and while Lovett was out hunting a rabbit for 
the noonday repast the bride of but a few  days courted Morpheus 
through the aid of morphine and upon the return of her husband he 
found his better half dead.

Beside her was a small vial of morphine which told the story the 
abrupt termination of the honeymoon was caused by an overdose of 
morphine.  Mrs. Lovett was in the habit of using morphine and it 
is surmised she unintentionally took an overdose.
