The Cairo Messenger, Friday, July 27, 1917
Mr. O. L. Baggett Laid To Rest Thursday Afternoon

The remains of Mr. L. O. Baggett, who committed suicide, by shooting himself 
Wednesday afternoon at his home in Greenville, Fla., arrived in Cairo yesterday 
morning.  The body was carried to the home of his father, Mr. W. G. Baggett, 
where the funeral services were held at one o'clock.  Dr. J. A. Wynne, assisted 
by Rev. J. T. Ryder, conducted the last sad rites.  He was laid to rest in the 
Baggett burial grounds two miles south of town.

At the time of his suicide, his brother, Mr. P. M. Baggett, was visiting him.  
He left a note to Perry advising him what disposition to make of his property, 
but gave no reason for his rash act.

The boyhood days of Mr. Baggett was spent here, where he has a large family 
connection.  He is survived by his father, Mr. W. G. Baggett, several brothers 
and sisters besides many relatives and friends.  He was about 35 years of age 
and was a member of the Baptist church and also a member of the Masonic Lodge.

The Messenger extends condolence to the bereaved ones in their hour of 
affliction.
