Jackson News – Week of June 7, 1882
Mr. Parish – Suiceded

A dispatch was received May 30th from Senoia says the Griffin News, Aleck Parish
formerly of this city had suicided there.   Mr. Parish was a stonemason, about
thirty years old, and had moved to Senoia only a few months ago.

The life of aleck Parish was an eventful, and it might be called an accidental
one. Early in his career he fell out of a tree and broke a limb. Next he was
thrown off the track by a locomotive. ‘Then he was blown out of a well, is which
he was at work, by an explosion. He was run over by Kemble Jackson on a race
course, and thought to have been killed. Again, he was hit over the head by a
rock and his skull broken. In a difficulty at Hampton he had a jaw broken.

After seeing the performance of Luke at Coup’s circus, he jumped off a spring
board in the woods and broke his back. It is said that one time he was caught in
the wheel of a running wagon and had his collar bone broken.

And now, tired of being the sport of Fate, he has taken his own life.  

He leaves behind him at Senoia a wife and three children; and at Griffin a
mother and brother and two sisters, all of whom have our sympathy.
