Suicide By Drowning

Wednesday morning about 10 o’clock Mr. Oliver Ivey, who lived near Draneville, 
committed suicide by jumping in a creek and drowning himself.  He had 
frequently signified his intention of ending his life by his own hands, and 
only a few days before he committed the rash act he had a rope with which to 
hang himself, but was prevented from doing so by the family.  He said he would 
drown himself in the creek, and was watched on one occasion, but did not do so 
and the family thought he would not resort to that extremity.  On the day that 
he committed suicide he place a stick near the edge of the water upon which he 
hung his hat and jumped in.  This was 10 o’clock in the morning and his body 
was found about noon a few yards below.  There is no cause assigned for the 
rash act, except that he was very old and his mind was not sound.
