hoped he will continue, with his family,
as a resident of Cartersvllle.

ATWOOD KILLED
SELF IN JUMP
FROM BARN LOFT
■v
While in Fit of Despond
ency, Well-Known Cit
izen Died a Victim of
Own Plan Funeral
Saturday at Stilesboro
A death that came as a great shock
to his host of friends throughout Bar
tow county was that of Mr. Samuel S.
Atwood, who committed suicide by
hanging himself in a barn on his place
near Stilesboro, last Friday morning
The act cannot be accounted for in
any manner by his family and friends,
except that it was committed while
in a fit of despondency, caused by con
tinued ill health. ,
Mr. Atwood arose early Fr'day morn,
ing. as tvas his usual custom. He had
a tentative engagement to make an
auto trip that day, but the inclement
weather precluded this, and he let it
be known he Intended to remain nt
home.
He casually left the ijouse, walked
toward the barn, and whin he did not
return to the house, Mrs. Atwood be
came anxious about him. and went to.
ward the barn. Here she found his
body hanging by a rope. Help was im
mediately summoned and the body cut
down, but life was extinct.
An examination discloses the fact
that Mr. probably went to the
loft of the barn, taking* a set of new
plowlines with him. Tieing these lines
to the barn rafter, he tied the other
end around his neck, and jumped to-<
ward the floor, some twenty feet below.
A physician called in to make an ex
amination, announced that Mr. At
wood's neck was broken, and the prob
ability is death was instantaneous.
News of the sad affair quickly spread
throughout the community, and large
numbers of friends of the family called
to express their sympathy and offer
condolence.
No more popular man ever lived in
the Stiles boro community. He was
a citizen to whom everybody, young
and old, felt they could go to for the
right kind of advice. He was a close
student of human nature, and it is said
by those who knew him best, that his
suggestions were proper and timely.
Asa farmer he had made a signal
success, his crops being among the
best in the community, and his yields
were outstanding. Naturally he had
accumulated a portion of the world’s
goods, and it is generally understood
he was In good shape financially.
. He had been honored on more than
one occasion with preferments by his
fellow citizens. Asa County Commis
sioner he had made an enviable rec

was often recognized. He was a mem
