Middle Ga. Argus – Week of March 17, 1893
It is with regret that it becomes our duty to mention the death of Mr. Levi 
McMichael, which was brought by his own hands on Monday.  For a year or more 
the old man had been somewhat deranged and had often threatened to take his own 
life but had been prevented by a close watch.  On the day mentioned he went up 
to Mr. math Gaston’s, who is his son-in-law, a thing he was accustomed to doing 
and after staying a short while started towards home about 11 o’clock.  He went 
only a short distance and climbed upon a fence, took off his suspenders and 
tied one end around his neck and the other to a limb of a tree and swung off 
into eternity.  When he did not return at night an alarm was given and his 
family and neighbors started out to search for him and at 8 o’clock found his 
dead body dangling from a tree as above stated.  The poor man had longer been a 
sufferer form disease which had overbalanced his mind and so he preferred death 
to living.  His remains were laid away on Tuesday.
