Washington County
Friday
September 2, 1898

Robert PERCY, a well-to-do farmer five or six miles southwest of Barnes, shot
himself through the head on Sunday evening last with a 32 self-acting revolver,
dying in about an hour. Mr. Percy was a bacheor about 52 years of age, owned a
farm near John D. HINKLE, at whose place he had made his home most of the time
for twenty years, though he occasionally occupied his own house at which the
shooting was done. He is said to be an Englishman and was quite well thought of
by the community. Sheriff COLEMAN and Coroner WELCH went down to Barnes Monday
and an inquest was held in the evening, the body having been brought to that
town. Mr. Percy had not been feeling well for some days, and it is thought that
in a fit of despondency the deed was committed.
