8 February 1898; The Brunswick Times

Drunk, She Drank Laudanum; Mary Small Quarreled With Her Best Fellow And 
Suicide as a Subsequence  

	Mary Small, colored, who was over six feet tall and weighed 235 
pounds, had a quarrel Sunday night (Feb. 6, 1898) with her best fellow.  Mary 
lived in A street lane, and, after her fuss with her lover, proceeded to fill 
up on mean whiskey.  While in this condition, she procured an ounce of 
laudanum and drank it.
     	Mary's neighbors in the lane discovered her late Sunday night, in a 
dying condition.  Doctors were sent for, but non could be obtained, until, 
finally, Dr. Hatcher appeared on the scene.  He found it impossible to do 
anything for the woman.  She died at 11 o'clock.
     	Friends of the woman took up a collection yesterday to pay the 
expenses of her funeral.  They collected only $9.50.  Undertaker Moore 
charitably consented to attend the interment for that sum.  The funeral will 
occur today.
