Daily Pilot Thursday July 2, 1896

Sometime between 10 and 11 o'clock last night Mrs. Mary A. Barron, wife of James 
A. Barron, was found by her son in a critical condition from an overdose of 
strychnine.  Drs. Morgan and Truitt were called in, who did all they could to 
save her life, but in vain. She died about 11 o'clock.  The deceased was about 
thirty years of age, in good health and apparently happy.  No cause can be given 
for her rash act.  The funeral services will be conducted by Rev. W.T. 
Waterfield tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from her late residence, corner 
Eleventh street and Walker's Avenue.
