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.
