WELL KNOWN JESUP WOMAN SHOOTS SELF—Mrs. M.A. Lane, Despondent, Committed 
Suicide Yesterday Afternoon (By Associated Press.)

Jesup, Ga., March 9.—Mrs. L.A. Lane, 28, member of one of Wayne county’s most 
prominent families, is dead, a victim of a .38 calibre pistol which she used 
to end her life late yesterday afternoon.

Mrs. Lane left no note explaining her motive, but on the operating table while 
an emergency operation was being performed, she said:

“I have stood all of life that I can.”

Members of her family say she has been suffering from despondency for the past 
several weeks, although they did not realize her condition was of sufficient 
cause to prompt her act.	

The young woman shot herself twice in her attempt to end her life, with the 
first bullet passing through her breast.  The second was just below her 
heart.  This tore away parts of the abdomen and resulted in her death.

Mrs. Lane was the daughter of the Late W.H. Harris, reputed to be Wayne 
county’s wealthiest farmer.  She is survived by her husband, a son, two 
daughters, her mother, two brothers, Dr. W.G. Harris of Jacksonville, and 
Oscar Harris of Odum; a sister, Mrs. Ernest Davis, of Mersham.

Funeral services will take place here tomorrow.  Interment will be in Big 
Creek cemetery.
