One of the saddest cases of suicide that has ever been recorded in Parker county occurred Saturday evening, January 11, about eight miles west of this city. Jesse B. Lane, a man aged about 45 years, took his double barreled gun and went into the woods at about 5:30 p.m. and having cut notches in the end of a stave to fit the triggers of his gun, sat down under a tree and fired both barrels into his left breast. Of course, death was instantaneous. As night came on and the unfortunate man did not return hone, his wife sent word to several neighbors, who came and searched with lanterns, finding the body about 2 o'clock Sunday morning. Burial took place in the Newberry cemetery Monday morning. Deceased had been in poor health for some time. We are told by a friend that he appeared at times greatly depressed in spirits, and during such a period of despondency it undoubtedly was that he took his life. He was well known in that part of the country--was a good man and well spoken of by all. His wife was a Miss Cowan. There is a grown daughter, Miss Hattie, and several younger children. They live on what is known as the Potter place, near Grindstone Creek, four miles from Millsap. The family have the sincere sympathy of all in their deep sorrow.
