Middle Ga. Argus – week of November 30, 1893
Mr. J. G. Phinazee is a prominent citizen of Monroe County, who lives near High 
Falls.  For some months his wife has shows signs of mental derangement and had 
made an attempt to take her own life while under the strange hallucinations, 
but on Wednesday she succeeded in accomplishing her design by going in to a 
room to herself, placing a paper about her clothes an saturating her apparel 
with kerosene oil an then setting herself on fire.  She was shortly discovered 
but too late to save her life.  She lingered about five ours and died.  No 
cause could be found to induce her to act so rashly.

Her remains were brought to Jackson on Tuesday and conveyed to McDonough, her 
old home, for burial.  She was the mother of Messrs. Tom Sutton and Paul Turner 
of McDonough, who have our sympathies, as well as the husband and other 
relatives  and fiends.
