Jackson Argus – Butts County
Griffin News

Yesterday morning about 5 o’clock Lee Parks was found dead in his room at the 
home of his uncle, S. H. Cunningham.  His death was the result of an overdose 
of laudanum, which he had taken with suicidal intent.  Parks was a young man 
about 27 years old and unmarried.  He came to Griffin from Monroe County, and 
was engaged at the carpenter’s trade, being employed by Mr. Cunningham.  He had 
been drinking prior to his death, and despondency was probably the cause of the 
rash act.  He was a good citizen when sober, but had once before about six 
weeks ago, attempted suicide while under the effects of liquor.  The first time 
the poison was pumped out of him, but this time it did its deadly work.
