Samuel Shaw
The Oxford Times, February 14, 1888
Samuel Shaw, aged 20 and living with his widowed mother in Coventryville [Chenango Co., NY], died yesterday morning from an overdose of laudanum. He attended church twice on Sunday and on retiring to his room bid his mother good night, saying he guessed he would take a dose of laudanum and go where some one else had gone. Nothing was thought of this remark until yesterday morning, when not appearing, Mrs. Shaw went to his room and found him under the effect of the poison. Dr. Guy was immediately summoned, but too late to save the young man's life. He purchased the laudanum one day last week, stating that his mother had a toothache and the drug was for her. An inquest was held yesterday.
Chenango Semi-Weekly Telegraph, February 22, 1888
Samuel Shaw, a young man about twenty years of age and the only son of the late Martin Shaw, was found dead in his bed at Coventryville last Monday morning. The story has gone the rounds of the papers that he committed suicide, which is a mistake. Coroner Hayes of Afton, was notified, and an inquest was held and the verdict rendered by the jury was in accordance with the facts elicited, that the deceased came to his death by an overdose of laudanum taken as medicine. The funeral occurred on Wednesday with a large attendance, though the weather was most unpropitious.
