Irvin, A Soldier, Commits Suicide

Rather Than Return To Army Young Man Who Recently Enlisted Shoots Self Through 
Heart.

James Irvin, a soldier, committed suicide about three o'clock Monday afternoon 
at the home of his mother on Randall street, by shooting himself through the 
heart.  He fell into the arms of his mother.  His wife was present and 
witnessed the tragedy.
The deceased enlisted in the army at Fort McPherson about five weeks ago and 
was visiting his home on furlough.  It is said that he was dissatisfied with 
the army and ended life rather than return to camp.  He is survived by his 
mother, Mrs. I. (or L) B. Irvin, two brothers and his young wife.
The funeral will be held from the home Wednesday morning at ten o'clock, Rev. 
Mr. Kent officiating.  Interment will be made in the Gray cemetery near 
Vaughn, where the Improved Order of Red Man will have charge.
