on .Wedding . Trip, r,,
Durham, Nov. 15. Joseph "H.'"V
Gooch, of Stem, Granville county
passed through Durham this after- f ; x c
noon en route to Houston, Tex.r
in response to the ' news that his .
brother, Wayne H. Gooch, of ' '
Clarksville, Va., had committed -suicide
on his return to Lexing- , .
ton, N. C, from his bridal trip to '
San Francisco. No reason. was as- " "
signed for the suicidal ..act. Mr -
Gooch was a wealthy real estate "
and whiskey dealer of Clarksville,
Va., and had accumulated $100,- - ,j
000. He had Jived in Clarksville v '
for 23 years, although he was
born near Stem, Granville county. - 0
His real estate holdings were ex.- V
tensive in that portion of Virginia.
It was only six weeks ago that " ' .
he married Miss Margaret Rad- 1
cliff, of Lexington North Carolina,' v. .!
and! they had gone to San Francis-'.
Co on a honeymoon. He had been
married three times before. IJev
was fifty-one years old. One broth
er, Joseph H. Gooch, a well known .
and esteemed merchant and former
postmaster of Stem; Mrs. Emma
Clayton, of Stem; and Mrs. D.S.
Reid, of Winston-Salem, are the
brother and sisters surviving. The
telegram to his brother did riot 9
contain the news of the manner of
the suicide, but later advices' con
firmed the report that he shot him-'
self near Houston. Mr. Gooch
left Durham on the 5;08 train and
will meet the body in Atlanta,
from which point it will be brought
to Lexington
