Middle Ga. Argus – Week of November 15, 1894
Our readers will be pained to learn of the death of Mr. F. M. Kinard at his 
store on Wednesday morning.  The coroner, Simon Hardy, was summoned and the 
jury returned the following verdict:

We, the jury, after hearing the evidence under oath, find that F. M. Kinard the 
deceased came to his death from a pistol shot in his own hand.  T. P. Bell, 
foreman; J. G. Colwell, L. B. Carmichael, J. B. Evans, J.M.C. Thaxton, W. A. 
Mangham.

There was no evidence as to whether the killing was suicidal or accidental.  
Mr. Kinard, was in easy circumstances and had never hinted his intention if it 
was suicide.  But he had just removed the pistol or was in the act of removing 
it from under his pillow where it was kept every night, when it fired.  Whether 
he did it on purpose or it was accidental will never be known.

The special from this place to this Constitution is very wrong.  That he could 
have been in financial trouble for the estate of his father had just been sold 
for more than three times the indebtedness, besides a 400 acre dower not in the 
sale.
