Takes Poison By Mistake
Adam Schwartz Dies of Carbolic Acid Poisoning
The citizens of Ritzville were considerably agitated last Friday morning when the startling news was circulated on the streets that Mr. Adam Schwartz of near Odessa, had died of carbolic acid poisoning, taken by mistake for a stimulant.
It is alleged that Mr. Schwartz walked into a drug store in the morning, and told the clerk that he was sick, and wanted a drink of something, which was given him. He stayed in the drug store for some time, and finally left, going to Fred Thiel's pool room, where, it is said, he walked to the rear part of the room wherein is located a sink at which he took a drink of water. He then passed back through the room and onto the street, without speaking to anyone. He then walked back up Main
street to Mr. Becker's shoe shop.
As soon as Mr. Becker saw him he knew there was something the matter and tried to get the man to talk. Mr. Schwartz made an effort to speak and make Mr. Becker understand him, but he was so badly convulsed and partially paralyzed that he could not make utterance. He made an effort to arise from the chair upon which he was seated, but could not do so, and in a few minutes he was dead.
Mr. Schwartz was at one time a resident of Ritzville, but in recent years has been making his home with this son-in-law, Mr. Frank Smith, on a ranch west of town.
At the time of his death he was 62 years of age and leaves a family of three daughters and two sons, all grown and married, to mourn his untimely death.
Funeral services were held on Monday, and interment was in the cemetery close to the ranch
on which he lives.
(Note Burial Cemetery is based on his wife's obit. I do not believe the town is Batum, I believe this is a family cemetery located on the residence were they lived) Probate records are in Adams county, with land referenced close to Odessa.
