The Portland Observer, Wednesday, September 16, 1885
Last Friday afternoon Ira Couser and son Herbert, of Orange, while hauling 
(illegible) into the barn of Mrs. Christina Fredric’s heard a noise in the 
loft overhead, and upon investigation found the owner of the barn in a dying 
condition.  It seems that she had taken a tablespoon full of Paris green 
Thursday night; as the dose was too large, it did not cause her immediate 
death and she went to the barn, climbed up in the loft, after which she threw 
hay over the hole and layed down to die.  As soon as she was found, medical 
aid was summoned, but too late to render her any assistance, and she died in a 
half an hour after the arrival of Dr. Hinman.  The deceased was a widow living 
alone, and was highly respected by her neighbors.  The cause of her rash act 
was undoubtedly, temporary insanity.
