Blows Out His Brains

A. L. Dawson commits Suicide in Birmingham

Was Despondent Over His Protracted Illness

Birmingham, Nov. 17 (Special)-A. L. Dawson, a white man of family 29 years of
age, in desperation and despondency over his protracted illness, deliberately
shot his brains out last night at his home Nov. 619 Twenty-first Street.  He had
been suffering for the past month with a disorder of the kidneys and was lying
sick in the bed all day yesterday.  He had been employed by the Birmingham
Railway Light and Power Company for several months.

His wife attended him faithfully yesterday.  Last night he asked her to go to an
adjoining room and call her brother.  She left him and an instant afterwards she
heard the report of the pistol which did the deadly work.  His wife returned
instantly and tried to get one word from her husband, but in vain.  His body was
shipped to Thomaston, Ga., his former home for interment.  He leaves a wife and
child. 

Additional Comments:
Buried in Glenwood cemetery, row 12, lot 19 with parents, but stone isn't marked.
