ROBERT WILLIAM TUBMAN:
Transcribed by R.W.Tubman from an article in the Carlisle Patriot 13 December 1844

Whitehaven.- Death from Opium.- On Tuesday last, an old man, named W. TUBMAN, of the New Town, finding his cough more than usually troublesome, asked his wife, who is in the habit of taking opium and laudanum in large doses, for two of her opium pills, to compose him. These were immediately supplied by her. He soon fell into a sleep from which he never awoke. About eight o'clock his wife tried in vain to arouse him, when she sent for Mr MOSSOP, surgeon, who began to empty the stomach by means of the stomach pump, but his exertions were too late. The wife was greatly astonished at the event, and could not ascribe it to the effects of the Opium, having herself taken it for the last 25 years, and swallows it now to the extent of 1 drachm per diem. Pills similar to those given to her husband were weighed by Mr MOSSOP, and found to be four grains each. An inquest was held on the body, and a verdict returned, "That the deceased's death was caused by opium, administered to him by his wife at his own desire."

William married Hadwin/Heslop Ann 24 Dec 1809, St. Bees, Cumberland, England. [Group Sheet]
