Clay County Advocate
Tomato Ala. Oct. 13, 1899. Editor, Advocate, Will you allow me space in your 
paper to say that on Tuesday last.  Marion Linch died very suddenly. Mr. Linch 
has been sick several days, but bad got up although he was quite feeble. About 
daylight he had a fainty spell followed by a severe pain in the left side and 
died within five or ten minutes. J. F. Williams, better known as Bud Williams, 
cut himself to death with a pocketknife. Mr. Willams, it seems from evidence of 
his relatives and neighbors has been acting a little strange for some time, and 
on last evening he and his wife went stay with the widow of Mr. Linch, and about 
9 o'clock be left his wife with Mrs. Linch, and said he believed he would go 
home. After he was gone for some time search was instructed. and he was found in 
Mr. Linch cotton field about a half mile from the house. When found he was not 
dead, but when ask why he cut himself that way the only reply that he would make 
was "Water, water, take me and put me in it", He died half an. hour after found. 
His left leg was cut below the knee to the bone. the right leg was also cut 
behind the knee in more than one place, the arteries of both, legs being 
severed, there was a stab in the left breast and other portion of the body. No 
evidence of the cause of such suicide has yet been discovered search of paper 
and other evidence are being made. Mr. Williams and Mr. Linch married sisters, 
and both were young me. Each had three children. We sympathize with the bereaved 
relatives. G.T. Wilson.
