The Cairo Messenger, Friday, August 2, 1912
Mr. Atkinson Laid To Rest
The remains of Mr. Noah Atkinson of Albany, Ga., were brought to Cairo last 
Thursday July 25, and laid to rest at Long Branch.  Mr. Atkinson was a former 
citizen of Grady county, and leaves many friends and relatives to mourn his 
loss.  We below publish an article from the Albany Herald:

Noah Atkinson, who had been in the employ of the Acme Brewing.  He was 
Company's agency here for the past six months or longer, committed suicide at 
his home next to the waterworks plant at 12:30 o'clock this afternoon.  He took 
a dose of carbolic acid, which he had poured into a bottle of coca cola.  He 
came into the house with the poison, thus prepared, and said he was going to 
kill himself.  The household was thrown into great commotion when he suited the 
action to the word and drank the deadly poison.  Dr. L. E. Welch was called in 
but the man was past human aid.

Atkinson had been in Savannah the past few days, returning home last night, or 
this morning.  He moved to Albany about a year ago from Geneva, Ala.  He was 
married and leaves a wife and two children 9 and 6 years old.  Funeral 
arrangements will be made later.  No cause is known for the rash deed.
