From Story County Watchman October 20, 1893

THE END.--It will be remembered that some weeks since we gave an account of the taking of concentrated lye by Mrs. Bert Morrison, of Lincoln township, and that she was in Nevada for treatment by our physicians. She died about ten days ago at the home of her parents near Lynn county, Iowa, from starvation caused by the inability to take food because of the contraction of the throat. Her many friends both in this city and that township will be sorry to learn of the end of this estimable lady.
