• Documents		Obituary- Shipley, Estella 1 SHE TAKES POISON Mrs. Stella Shipley, Age 19, of Rossville Commits Suicide Rossville, March 1 -- Mrs. Stella Shipley, age 19, wife of a Rossville stonemason, was found dying Tuesday at her home here. The cause of her death was a self administered dose of strychnine. Before her death Mrs. Shipley admitted taking the powerful poison but refused to give a reason for her act. She purchased the drug Monday from a Rossville druggist "to kill some rats." Dr. H.L. Miller was summoned when the woman's act became known but he failed to save her life. Rodney Shipley, the woman's husband, was working on a farm several miles distant when his wife died.
  		Obituary- Shipley, Estella 2 Death From Strychnine This community was inexpressibly shocked Tuesday forenoon when the word was passed about town that Mrs. Stella Shipley, the young wife of Rod Shipley had taken a dose of strychnine and committed suicide. Early Tuesday forenoon she came to town and mailed some letters and went to the Goyette drug store and signed up for a dimes worth of the deadly drug stating she wished to use it for killing rats. Going back to the R. A. Shipley home with whom she and her husband have been living for several months, she went upstairs changing her street clothes for working clothes, came down in a short time and went out to hang clothes on a line. Shortly after, Quill saw her fall and hastened to her side. It was some time before Mrs. Shipley would tell what she had taken. Dr. H. R. Miller was called at once but she was past any help and died in about forty minutes from the time of taking the drug. Rod Shipley the husband was summoned at once from his work on the gravel road east of Rossville but arrived after his wife passed away. Mrs. Shipley was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Marney who live west of Rossville. Less than a year ago she was married to Rod Shipley. Both were born and raised in this community and attended the public schools together. The funeral was held this (Thursday) afternoon from the Christian church, services being conducted by Rev. Bently and interment made in the Rossville cemetery. Mrs. Shipley was only nineteen years of age.
