Castleberry Child Hangs Self With Rope

Horrible Death  - Of Two Year  Old Child Near Indian Spring Last Week – 
Playing With Swing And Got Entangled In The Rope

News of the death by hanging of the two year old child of Mr. and Mrs. Will 
Castleberry, living between Indian Springs and the Monroe county line, last 
week, reached Jackson a day or two ago that there was a swing in the yard 
where the children were accustomed to play and that the child was left playing 
there by its mother who busied herself about the house.  After being gone from 
the yard for some time, she returned to find the little fellow suspended in 
the air with a rope around its neck, dead.

The death of the child came a great shock to its parents.  Just how it 
happened to get entangled in the rope is not known. 

Coroner McElroy was notified of the death, though no inquest was held, as this 
ws probably not thought necessary under the circumstances.

The stricken parents have the sympathy of a host of friends in this sad blow.
