From The Indianapolis News, Tuesday, April 14, 1925: Madge Oberholtzer died this morning at her Irvington home, 5802 University Av, after suffering nearly a month from bichloride of mercury poisoning which she took following an alleged attack by former Ku Klux Klan grand dragon D. C. Stephenson. She had been unconscious since April 1, and while her condition had appeared slightly improved, there was little chance of recovery. Dr. John K. Kingsbury, the Oberholtzer family physician, announced her death and said only the nurse and family members were at her bedside when the end came. Before losing consciousness, Oberholtzer made a statement about the alleged attack which led to charges against Stephenson which have been revised to include murder. Madge Oberholtzer’s funeral will be held Friday at her home, and she will be laid to rest at Memorial Park Cemetery.
