Corbett in 1897. ********************************************* The Emporia Weekly Gazette, 03 Oct 1901, Page 5 MRS. FRED CORBETT DEAD Mrs. Fred Corbett died Sunday night at 7 o'clock, after a sickness of less than forty-eight hours. The direct cause of Mrs. Corbett's death was heart failure resulting from morphine poisoning. Thursday she was visiting at her father's, Samuel Pettit, on West Street. She was perfectly well at that time. Saturday she was taken sick and Sunday she was confined to her bed. It was thought she was suffering from stomach trouble and she complained of a violent headache. Sunday evening L. L. Corbett, her father-in-law, got some morphine tablets for the headache. This has been a family remedy for Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Corbett for headaches. In a response to a call from his father, Fred sent two grains in one-eight grain capsules to the house. The first of these was administrated by L. L. Corbett. It gave much relief. Later in the evening Mrs. Fred Corbett again became very sick and begged one of the neighbors, who was with her, to give another capsule. The friend did so and the sick woman soon fell into a doze apparently free from pain. The morphine began to show its deadly effects. Dr. Stewart was called at 2 p.m. and found her unconscious and almost dead. He used a stomach pump immediately and gave an injection of brandy and bromide with atropine, which seemed to relieve her. He returned at 5:30 and found his patient conscious and able to talk. She complained of being very tired and wished to sleep. The doctor considered her out of danger and allowed her husband to go and see after his work and get someone to fill his place. She was apparently resting easy, but at 7 o'clock she turned on her back, gave a gasp and was dead. They tried to revive her with injections of brandy and by employing artificial respiration, but to no purpose. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Corbett were married about four years ago. Mrs. Corbett was 27 years old and leaves besides her husband, two boys. One is three years old and the other is 14 months. The funeral of Mrs. Fred Corbett took place Tuesday afternoon at the Christian Church. The services were conducted by Rev. W. A. Parker. Music was furnished by a quartet: Mrs. Nation, Mrs. Poindexter, Mr. McCain and Mr. Kelley. The pallbearers were P. H. Lunbeck, Ed Mellinger, Fred Gregg, Frank Adams, W. D. Lee and Mr. Wilcox. The floral tributes which were many and beautiful only exemplified the high esteem in which Mrs. Corbett was held. The interment was made in Maplewood Cemetery.
