1894 Death Notice of Thomas Gray, young son of Columbus & Adelle Gray, near Shiloh, Union Parish Louisiana

From the Farmerville "Gazette"; issue of Wednesday, 2 May 1894
==================================================================================
==================================================================================


  We are informed that Mrs. Lum Gray, living about 6 miles north of Shiloh, last
Saturday night gave a dose of laudanum to her two-year-old child and then took a 
dose herself. The child died from the effects of the medicine, but the mother 
was saved by medical aid being secured in time.


==================================================================================
NOTE: Gene Barron pointed out that Mrs. "Lum" Gray was actually Adell (born 
March 1869), the wife of Columbus Gray (16 Apr 1857 - 22 Nov 1903). After 
Lum's death, she remarried to Paul R. Roberts. The child was Thomas Gray 
(17 Mar 1893 - 29 Apr 1894). Both the young boy and Columbus Gray were buried 
in the Shiloh Cemetery. Notice that the child was only thirteen months old, 
not two years old as the paper stated.
