Thursday, 30 October 1952According to a verdict returned by a coroner's jury presided over by Herb Twyman, Levi Ross, an 87-year-old retired Lee county farmer, came to his death by suicide late Tuesday afternoon of last week. Mr. Ross was found swinging from a limb in his yard by Green Ross, a son of the dead man.
Mr. Ross lived by himself in the Hopewell Community and the son, Green Ross, was quoted as saying that he had been with his father about 5:00 p.m. on the incident occurred. He said he went to a nearby store to buy some groceries and when he returned about a half hour later, he found his father hanging from the tree with a black cloth over his face.
Green said he untied the rope and let his father down and when he did so, he gasped a time or two for breath but all efforts to revive him were unsuccessful.
