Marietta Journal/Issue of December 18, 1879
It is with sadness that we learn that Rev. W. P. Pledger committed suicide at 
the Markham House in Atlanta, last Saturday, by cutting his throat with a 
pocket knife.  Mr. Pledger we learn had been in bad health, afflicted with 
spinal affection, which penetrated the brain, and it was doubtless under the 
derangement of one of those attacks that he ended his existence.  The 
Conference had stationed him in Decatur.  He leaves a wife and daughter.  Mr. 
Pledger was an able preacher and at one time was presiding elder in this 
district.
