(Cedartown Standard, June 28, 1917) 
Mr. T. F. Jones, of Hematite, had been meditating suicide for some time and 
carried out his plan in startlingly effective manner Friday. He placed the 
muzzle of a shotgun at the base of his brain, and pulled the trigger with a 
forked stick, tearing away the entire back of his head. Mr. Jones wrote to Mr. 
W. R. Seals, of Cedartown, a couple of weeks ago, asking as to burial expense, 
and left a note Friday in which he gave Mr. Seals direction for shipping his 
remains to Boonville, Miss., together with money to cover his bill. While 
having the appearance of health, Mr. Jones imagined that he had tuberculosis, 
and worry about this produced the mental derangement that caused the tragedy.
