The Tragic Case of Death by False Teeth

I'm just having trouble imagining this...but it's an interesting (and tragic) story for the family history if this lady is your ancestor!

"SWALLOWED FOUR TEETH.

Mrs. Christian Aschbacher, living five miles northeast of the city has been lying in critical condition since Sunday evening from the effects of swallowing four false teeth and the artificial plate.  

The teeth are lodged in the throat nearly nine inches from the palate, and has thus far defied the skill of a number of our best Physicians to remove this.

The lady suffers much pain and in all probability, death will ensue in a short time unless she is relieved.

A consultation of Doctors will be called today who will endeavor to alleviate her sufferings."

"DEATH OF MRS. ASCHBACHER.

Mrs. Christian Aschbacher, who went through a painful ordeal of a surgical operation to cut four false teeth on a plate which she had swallowed, from the oesophagus, died on Wednesday morning this week.  The exhaustion of the operation and the terrible suspense previous weakened her so much that she could not rally.  She leaves a husband and two children, both young, one being but a babe."
