Virginian Pilot March 1, 1906

                   ATE POISON FOR CANDY; DIED IN AGONY   
 
Maggie Brent Found Bicloride Tablets On Wash Stand--Lingered In Hospital For 
Weeks--End Came Tuesday

Maggie Brent, the 2 1/2 -year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Brent, 
poisoned eating one and a half bichloride tablets nearly a month ago at the 
family residence in South street, died Tuesday morning at St. Vincent's hospital 
after suffering in agony for several weeks.
She secured the tablets from the wash stand and thinking them candy ate them.
Dr. Rawles, an associate of Dr. J.A. Norfleet, was immediately summoned, who 
exhausted his skill in an effort to save her, but without avail.  She continued 
to grow worse.
She was removed to St. Vincent's hospital and the assistance of Dr. Royster was 
secured, but her condition was beyond the reach of medical skill.  During the 
time of her illness several physicians were consulted, but none of them gave any 
encouragement.
The funeral was conducted from the residence yesterday afternoon at 3:30 
o'clock, Rev. A.J. Ramsey, pastor of the Gospel Church, officiating.  The 
interment was in Magnolia Cemetery.
