(1) Liberal Democrate paper dated 9-19-1913

Mr. B. F. Monroe was laid to rest in the Bixler cemetery last Thursday. His
death was due to uratic poisoning caused from hog cholera medicine being used in
the biscuits instead of baking powder. Mr. Monroe has been batching for some
time and a short time ago his son and wife came to stay with him. Mrs. Monroe
made biscuits for supper on
saturday evening and used all the baking powder from the can she had been using
and a half tea-spoonful from another can, thinking it was baking powder. Mr.
Monroe and son both ate of the biscuits and became quite ill during the meal.
The doctor was summoned and Harry, the son, soon recovered, but Mr. Monroe
sufferd until Tuedsday night, when he died. The deceased leaves ten daughters,
one son and five grandchildren, besides a host of friends, who will miss him
from their midst. His oldest daughter did not arrive in time to attend the
funeral, but came Thursday afternoon and is visiting with her sister, brother
and friends.
