Mr. James A. Moore Takes Own Life At Milner Early Today

Mr. James A. Moore, who lives on South Sixth street, committed suicide early 
this morning at Milner when he stepped in front of a Central of Georgia 
freight train after slashing his throat with a razor or knife.  Mr. Moore left 
a note and this with circumstances surrounding the death made it unnecessary 
to hold a coroner’s inquest, it is reported from Milner.
Mr. Moore had been in poor health for many years and it is believed this 
caused him to end his life.
For sometime he had been working at Sikes Filing Station in Milner.  It was 
just behind the station where he is reported to have stepped in front of the 
train.
FUNERAL SATURDAY
Funeral services will be held Saturday morning from the late residence, Rev. 
J.B. Turner will officiate and interment will be made at Friendship cemetery, 
Frank S. Pittman funeral director in charge.
The following will act as pall bearers; R.O. Crouch, H.T. Johnson, J.W. 
Anderson, W.C. Weldon, H.T. Sikes and A.L. Barrett.

Griffin; three brothers, Alva Moore, Griffin; T.F. Moore, Atlanta; and G.S. 
Moore, Columbia, S.C. and a sister, Mrs. L.P. Owen, Barnesville.
LEFT NOTE
Mr. Moore left a note in which he said in part: “This is a beautiful world and 
I hate to leave it but this seems the best way out. Someone notify Frank 
Pittman.”  
Mr. Moore for many years was one of the leading cattlemen in this part of the 
state.  He bought and sold cattle and was one of the most prominent men in the 
section.  He was a devoted husband and father and numbered his friends by all 
who knew him.
A few years ago his health failed and he had been in critical condition for 
some time.  It is believed his poor health was responsible for his rash deed.


Additional Comments:
James was the son of Absalom Moore and Lucy Ann Seagraves Moore.
