Column 5
Margrat. -On the 9th of March 1881, Elmer E. Margrat, of Harrison township, Henry County, O., aged 18 years, 7 months and 15 days. He died from the effect of poison, taken accidentally eating of a root, supposed to be spikenard; but which proved to be wild anise, or something of that class. He died within 6 hours of eating the root. He was a fine young man, of quiet habits, inoffensive in his manner, loved and respected by all who knew him.
John W. Myers.
Column 3
Death from poison. -On Wednesday last, Samuel Margrat, son and daughter were poisoned by eating wild parsnips, which they mistook for spikenard. The old gentleman and daughter were relieved of the poison partaken, by taking proper antidotes, but the son, who had eaten more of the parsnips than the others, died in great agony and distress a few hours afterward. He was aged about eighteen years, and was a young man of more than the average intelligence. The stricken family have the sympathies of the community. - [FIND-A-GRAVE] Find a Grave, https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/124681163/elmer-e-margrat.
