James H. McGehee
James H. McGehee, a well known printer employed for many years on the Macon Telegraph, formerly of this place and with relatives here, also swallowed a large dose of laudanum with suicidal intent on Sunday afternoon. His mother and sister went down to attend the funeral, which took place at 3:30 yesterday afternoon. Mr. McGehee was 47 years old, much liked and respected, but had suffered from ill health for years, which finally became insufferable and rendered him unfit for work. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss.
