Thursday, January 3, 1884, THE NORTH STATE (Greensboro, Guilford County, N.C.)

-A strange and fatal poisoning affair occurred near Beaver Dam, in Union county, last Sunday, resulting in the death of Mr. J. C. MARSH, a young lawyer, and the almost fatal sickness of three of his friends. The party were poisoned by eating eggs that, by some unaccountable means were impregnated with strychnine. It appears that on last Sunday morning Mr. MARSH, accompanied by Miss Mamie PATTERSON, of Morganton, Mess. James BOYLIN and Reese BLAIR, of Monroe, went out to Mr. MARSH'S new home, a short distance from Beaver Dam, to spend the day. Mr. MARSH had completed a new residence and was just furnishing it for occupancy, by himself and wife. The party arrived at the house in due time and breakfast being prepared for them, they proceeded to dispatch it. Fried eggs constituted one of the dishes and of this Mr. MARSH and his friends partook quite freely. Shortly after eating they all were taken violently sick, and it was evident that something was wrong. The whole party were put to bed and medical assistance was at once summoned. An investigation was made into the cause of the poisoning, and it was found that the eggs eaten by the party contained a quantity of strychnine. The eggs were purchased at Austin's store in Beaver Dam. Mr. Austin bought them from a countryman, but beyond this nothing is known that will throw light upon (sic) affair. There are no suspicions of foul play, as it is generally thought to be the result of carelessness on the part of the countryman, who it is supposed had poisoned a lot of eggs with the intention of catching a thief, or an egg sucking dog. In collecting a basket of eggs to take to the store, he had through ignorance, accident or carelessness mixed the poisoned eggs with the others, and sold them to Mr. Austin.

Tuesday, May 31, 1904, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)

-Last week The Journal copied from the Marshville Home an article recalling the poisoning of Mr. J. C. MARSH at Gilboa twenty years ago. Mr. J. G. BOYLIN, who was of the party, copies the same article and comments on it as follows: “The above reminiscence is of peculiar interest to the editor of the Messenger-Intelligencer. It is an evidence of the rapid manner in which time passes with us after we have reached manhood, for notwithstanding he was of the party that was poisoned on the occasion above referred to, he can hardly realize that it has been so long ago. The affair created a great deal of excitement. We were living in Monroe at the time, and had gone to Mr. MARSH’S with a friend, J. Reese BLAIR, Esq., now of Troy. The poison was in eggs served at breakfast. The doctors had various opinions as to what sort of poison it was. One thought it was arsenic, another strychnine, while others believed it to be corrosive sublimate. Mr. BLAIR and a Miss PATTERSON, a half sister, we believe, of Mrs. MARSH, went out riding immediately after breakfast, and it being a Sunday morning the servants were also excused, leaving Mr. and Mrs. MARSH and the writer in the house alone. Mr. MARSH was first taken sick and in a short time the writer was also violently attacked. This was about 9 o’clock in the morning. Mr. MARSH died about sunset and our own life hung in the balance for twenty-four hours. Mrs. MARSH not having eaten any of the eggs, was not ill at all. Miss PATTERSON and Mr. BLAIR were also made quite sick, but not as violently so as was Mr. MARSH and the writer.” “Dr. GREEN, a brother-in-law of Mr. MARSH and father of the editor of Our Home, was the first physician to reach our bedsides. Next came Dr. J. A. McRAE of White Store. Later Drs. BLAIR, CROWELL and MONTGOMERY of Monroe arrived on the scene and did what they could to alleviate our sufferings. All of these physicians, except Dr. McRAE, and he was the oldest of them, are now dead.” “Mr. John C. MARSH, the gentleman who died, was a brother of Ed S. MARSH of this place. He was a noble young man and was doing a great educational work in his neighborhood. He had been married only a few months.”

[2] -Tuesday, August 2, 1904, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)

-Mr. J. W. MEDLIN of Marshville township died last Wednesday of Bright’s disease and was buried at Gilboa. He was 49 years old and leaves a wife and ten children. A relative of Mr. MEDLIN’S tells The Journal that the neighbors of the deceased were the best and most attentive to the sick man he ever saw, and says their kindness will never be forgotten.

[3] - It is said that he "went West and came home in a pine box shot full of holes!" (per Carl Meigs)
