The Landmark, 8 Aug. 1884
From The Landmark, published at Statesville, N. C.  
 
Aug. 8, 1884

The Monroe Inquirer tells this story: Mrs. Francis Stegall, widow of Nick 
Stegall, aged about 70 years, died in Goose Creek township a week or two ago.
We have been reliably informed that before dying she made a startling 
confession. She confessed to having murdered her husband by pouring molten 
lead in his ear. Mr. Stegall died very suddenly about 30 years ago, while 
drunk, but no foul play was ever suspected and her confession is a startling 
piece of news to the old people of the Community. She never married again and 
so far as we have heard no cause was assigned to the deed.
