Pickens Farmer Suicides

Found Hanging to a Rafter in His Shuck Pen

Jasper, Ga., July 22 – J.J. Pettett, a prominent farmer living 6 miles west of 
this place, committed suicide yesterday morning.  His son found him in the 
shuckhouse swinging by a rope which had been fastened to the rafter of the 
house.  His wife had prepared breakfast and sent the boy for his father.  He 
had been dead but a short while, but all efforts to bring him to life again 
failed.

Pettett was a good citizen, in good circumstances, and his neighbors and 
friends can’t account for his deed.  His home life is all that could be desired 
and he was a member of the Baptist church and had been for many years.  He 
leaves a wife and three children and a large host of kinfolk.  Pettett was a 
son of John E. Pettett, one of the most prominent citizens of the county and 
one of its best farmers.
