Willie A. Tobias

Following posted 2013 by  Jean Kyle

FRISCO HERALD - October, 1889
 

  Three children of Mr. Tobias, one of which died on Tuesday, have been eating nightshade berries for a week past and all became more or less poisoned.  The boy that died was five years old and the one next affected is three years old.  The eldest being a girl seven years old, is in no way dangerously ill.  The poison in the berries bloated the children up so that their clothes could not be put on them.
 

Additional Info: Tombstone states: Born April 9, 1884 and Died October 29, 1889.  J. H. and Olive R. Tobias with children, Gertrude, Clarence E. and Gracy A. are listed on the 1890 census. A James H. Tobias homesteaded the SW Sec 30, Twp 13, Range 5 which is on the NE corner of Frisco Rd. ½ mile east of the Cemetery. According to the births on various census the family traveled from Indiana to Kansas to Oklahoma.
