PROF. LUNDY HARRIS
COMMITS SUICIDE,
WAS FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
A PROFESSOR IN EMORY
COLLEGE.
The many friends of Prof. Lundy
Harris, formerly a professor in Em¬
ory college, were shocked Monday af¬
ternoon when it was learned that he
ha d suicided at Pine Lodge, near Car
tersivUle, on that day. Prof. Harris
was very popular among our people
while at Emory and preached a num¬
ber of times at the Methodist church
in this city, and at Midway. He had
a host of warm friends who regret
exceedingly his rash act. The re¬
mains were brought here Tuesday for
interment at Oxford. Dr. W. P. Love-,
joy conducted the funeral services, as¬
sisted by several of Emory’s faculty.
The Atlanta Journal of Monday after¬
noon had the following account of
his death:
“Tired of making a fight against ill
health that resulted in nervous pros¬
tration, Prof. Lundy Harris, of Nash¬
ville died Monday morning near Car
tersville, as the result of an overdose
of morphine taken Sunday morning.
“Professor Harris and his wife cam*
into almost national prominence a
few months ago when she wrote a
serial story for the Saturday Evening
Post,entitled ‘A Circuit Rider’s Wife.’
“Professor Harris, who had been a
Methodist minister for years, was re¬
cently given an appointment with the
Methodist Pubishing house at Nash¬
ville and had been employed there urn
til his health became so badly impair¬
ed that a rest was. found necessary.
“He then went on aJ leave of ab¬
sence to Pine Lodge, which is near
Cartersville. There it had been hoped
that quiet would restore his shatter¬
ed nerves and bring him back to per¬
fect health again. But these hopes
were without foundation, for instead
of improving he became gradually
weaker.
"Sunday morning he started for a
walk that ended in his death hours
later. Persons stopping at the same
house where he was making his tem¬
porary home found him shortly after
on the banks of a small stream in an
unconscious condition. It was found
that he had taken morphine and a
physician was called as soon as pos¬
sible. Professor Harris recovered suf¬
ficiently to be able to drink strong
coffee and it was thought that he
would be all-right in a sihort time,
hut early Monday morning he became
worse and soon died. He left three
notes, one of these to his wife, one
to the parties with whom he was
boarding and one to the undertaker
that handled his remains..
“ ‘The Circuit Rider’s Wife,’ caused
considerable comment because it
dealt very plainly with the hardships
that a minister, lacking in political
skill, have to encounter. It told of
how many of them had suffered and
were suffering aud yet toiled on with
no hope of earthly reward.
“Prof, and Mrs. Harris once lived
at College Park and in her story Mrs
Harris dealt with a few things said
to have occurred there. Her account
of the time spent in that pretty sub¬
urb was not .pleasing to some resi¬
dents and a denial was made of some
of them. Mrs. Harris is now in
Nashville.
"There were many who knew' ths
Harris family that took the story as
being a simple recital of his life's
struggles and .now that he has ended
his existence it would seem as if
his wife was telling of her husband
and his sufferings.”
