[or-roots] Mrs. Oscar Brown

[Leslie Chapman]

Thanks Barbara, I missed that and I was a little embarrassed to post the
entry for fear of offending the Brown family.

All is (or was) well.  I enjoyed  the old newspaper tidbits (you won't find
that  kind of journalism today).  The entry immediately after the chicken
poisoning episode told more about the affair:

Friday, September 1, 1899

The Enterprise learns that the report of the death of six people in Oregon
recently as a result of eating poisoned chicken was erroneous. Those
affected by the poison all recovered, although many of them were dangerously
ill for a time.
