Rock Springs Rocket, Apr 18, 1930
Woman Who Took Poison Two Weeks Ago Succumbs

Mrs. Frances Self, who three weeks since attempted to take her life at the city hall by swallowing a potion of Lysol died at the Wyoming General hospital Wednesday. She will be interred in the city cemetery tomorrow after short funeral services are held at the Wildermuth Funeral Home at two p.m. She was 32 years old.

Frank Self, her divorced husband, arrived in the city last night from Long Beach, California, to claim their three children, two sons and a daughter. Mrs. Self brought her children to Rock Springs with her in March. Mr. Self and his children will leave for Long Beach immediately following the services tomorrow.

Mrs. Self presented herself at the city hall on April first and inquired for Mayor P. C. Bunning. Upon being told that Mayor Bunning was not at the city hall at that time she took Lysol and was prevented from taking all which she had brought with her presumably for that purpose by persons who were near when she attempted to commit the deed. She was rushed to the Wyoming General hospital where for several days it appeared that her life would be saved. Her condition became suddenly worse early this week and no hope was then held for recovery.

Mrs. Self is survived by her mother, Mrs. T. T. Edgmon of Boxley, Arkansas. Attempts to establish communication with Mrs. Edgmon were unsuccessful yet at noon today.
