- March 10, 1887 - Suicide of a Farmer - James Elrod, 65 years of age, a prosperous farmer living ten miles northeast of Patestine, died from the effect of strychnine on the 2nd, telling his wife he wanted poison to kill rabbits with. She gave him the bottle, and taking a large dose on the point of his knife, he deliberately swallowed it. All attempts to restore him failed, and death resulted in an hour.
Mr. Elrod was happy and prosperous in all the relations of life, and it is thought the rash act was the result of a failing intellect.
