Obituary:
"Dr. Wm. P. Tonry, one of the oldest and most celebrated analytical chemists in the country, died suddenly on Tuesday afternoon at the home of his daughter, Miss Clara Surratt Tonry, 2206 York road, Baltimore, of heart failure, aged 65 years. Dr. Tonry had more to do with murder cases than perhaps any other physician in this section of the country, and it is in this respect that he is so well-known to the people of Kent. Dr. Tonry figured conspicuously in the Hill murder case, for it was he who analyzed the bloodstains upon the garments of certain of the prisoners and pronounced them human bloodstains. Another important case in which Dr. Tonry figured was that of Mrs. Frances Bell Beacham, accused of poisoning her husband, in Caroline county. His most famous ease was that of the State vs. Mrs. Elizabeth Wharton, charged with poisoning Gen. W. S. Ketchum, U.S.A."
