Oglethorpe Echo
 A sad case of dementia came before Ordinary Nicholson Monday. It was that of 
Miss Dora Martin, of Goosepond district, who recently gave symptoms of mental 
derangement and who last week tried to take her life by setting fire to her 
clothing. Her family then realized that she should be given into care better 
than they could give her for her protection as well as that of others and she 
was brought before the Ordinary Monday and committed to the state sanitarium at 
Milledgeville. She will be carried to that institution as soon as she has 
sufficiently recovered from the burns she inflicted upon herself.

Additional Comments:
Elzora (Dora) Martin died from these burns March 11, 1927.
