The LaFayette Sun November 25, 1903
Sad Death at Hickory Flat. Mrs. E. P. Green a Victim of Deadly Chloroform. On last Friday, the 20th instant, the beautiful young wife of Dr. E. P. Green came to her death from inhaling, unintentionally, it is believed, too much chloroform. It seems that Mrs. Green suffered severe pains at times and had been accustomed to take chloroform to alleviate them. On this fateful morning Dr. Green was called over into Georgia to see Mrs. Green’s mother who was sick, leaving his wife alone. It is suppose that she was taken with pains and had recourse to the chloroform. She saturated a handkerchief, went to bed, placed the chloroform to her nose, covered up her head and the cover not allowing the drug to evaporate, it got in its work. On returning in the afternoon the doctor found her as above described and already stiff in death. A few years ago, Dr. E. P. Green was a pupil of the editor at Standing Rock, Ala., where he was reared and from where he went to Glenn, Ga., to read medicine under the auspices of his cousin, Dr. Smith. Near there he met his wife, formerly Miss Gwyn Allen, a daughter of Mr. Henry Allen, a rich planter and merchant. Singularly Mrs. Green was at one time a pupil of our foreman, Mr. Wilson. Thus the Sun feels a particular sadness in this sad misfortune. We have been assured by neighbors and friends of this couple that they had already endeared themselves to the good people of Hickory Flat and community.
