Sandy Ridge, March 10.- This
community was severely shocked
Saturday afternoon when it
became known that Mr. Henry
Martin, one of our prominent and
highly respected young men, had
committed suicide by shooting
himself through tie head with a
! rifle.
The story  f the young man's
idv'ath, as related by his people,

noon, four days after the young
man's disappearance, his body
was found in a chaff pen by his
sisters who happened to go out
to th ; threshing yard in search
:of hen nests. Dr. J. H. Elling
! ton was immediately summoned
! and an examination of the body
! showed that the young man had
'shot himself with a 32-caliber
1 rifle, the weapon lying by his
j side with an empty cartridge in
it. The ball entered the right
i temple and came out near the
J same place on the left temple.
The deceased was a son of Mr.
Ii J. H. Martin, one of our best
citizens. Besides his father Mr.
! Martin leaves five brothers, four
sisters and many other relatives
, and friends to mourn his untime
ilv end. He was aged twenty
i eight years. No cause for his
I I
! rash act is known.
s j The remains were laid to rest
~| at Oak Ridge burying ground

'services being conducted by
