Hawkinsville Dispatch and News, clipping from 1908-1910
	OSCAR HORNE FOUND DEAD. 
  Savannah, January 7.—This morning Mr. 
J. R. Horne, the father of Mr. Oscar C. 
Horne, who was found dead in his drug 
store yesterday morning with an empty 
revolver at his feet and a pistol wound 
in his breast, arrived from Pinehurst, 
Ga.,to take charge of the remains of 
his son. 
  Mr. Horne is much puzzled at the 
death of his son and does not know how 
to account for his strange act. 
  He will probably take the remains 
home with him for interment. 
Young Horne had a very severe case of 
typhoid fever last spring and at times 
he seemed very despondent. 
  Recently, however, his business had 
been very good and he was unusually 
cheerful. He sent the negro boy on an 
errand and while he was gone he shot 
himself in the breast. He was found 
dead by Mr. John Schwab, another 
druggist, who went to the store to get 
some medicine to assist him in filling 
a prescription.
  Mr. Home belonged to several 
fraternal organizations and his death 
has caused great sorrow to his friends.
