             Miss Emily Grierson passed away this past Friday. She was found in her bedroom by the Negro man who kept house for her. It was discovered however, that her body was not the only one found in the house that day.
             Many people here in Jefferson remember a man, Homer Barron, with whom Grierson was in love with 30 years ago. It was realized after they had courted awhile, that Barron was more interested in men, than women. It was thought that Grierson cured him of that horrible way of life and that they were to be married. She was seen buying him clothing and a toilet set one day. A few days prior, she was seen buying arsenic. It was believed she was going to kill herself but that Barron had convinced her otherwise. He soon after was not seen with her anymore, so it was thought he had gone to his home and was preparing for his new bride to come to him.
