                              Herschel Sauls
 JEFFERSONVILLE, Sept 7----- Funeral services were held this afternoon at 
Prospect Church for Herschel Sauls, 38, who died from self inflicted wounds at 
his home in Twiggs County yesterday afternoon.
 The Rev. D. M. Smith conducted the services.
 Mr. Sauls had been in ill health for the past 13 years and the fact that he 
ended his own life is thought to have come about because of despondency.
 While out of the house for a short while Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Sauls 
heard a gun shot and upon returning, she found her husband in a dying 
condition from a bullet wound in his head. A coroner's jury was summoned and 
after viewing the surroundings in the Sauls home, a verdict of suicide was 
rendered, according to Sheriff Earl Hamrick.
 Survivors include his wife, the former Miss Lucy Floyd; one son, Herschel 
Sauls Jr.; his mother, Mrs. Katie Sauls; three sisters, Mrs. G. W. Thompson, 
Mrs. Jim Sauls, and Mrs. George Gordon, all of Twiggs County.

Additional Comments:
Herschel was born 3 Oct 1905 to John D. Sauls and Katie Katura Floyd Sauls.
