Samuel Livingston, 45 years of age of this city, on Saturday morning ended his life by hanging himself to a bed post with an apron string in a bed room at his home.

His death is deeply mourned by his widow, two sons, three daughters, several brothers and sisters, and numerous other relatives and friends, and he will be sadly missed by all. Funeral services were held at the M.E. church in this city Monday afternoon, Rev. D. D. Welch officiating. The body was laid to rest in the city cemetery. The funeral was largely attended. The family has the sympathy of all in this community.
