Zebulon, Pike Co., Ga., Friday, September 15, 1893

Walter H. Rhett, one of the brightest members of the Atlanta bar
committed suicide last Tuesday by shooting himself through the heart
with a pistol. Drink and financial troubles are said to have been the
main cause of the rash act.

Mrs. Rhett, was born and raised in Zebulon, where she yet has many
friends. Her maiden name was Miss Annie Raymond Reid. She was a daughter
of Dr. Robert Reid and a grand daughter of Dr, Caldwell.
