Cut His Throat
And Then Jumped Into a Well Filled With WaterGuthrie, Ky., Jan 21, 1896
This morning about 7 o'clock C.W. Davis, a prominent Cedar Hill farmer, cut
his throat with a pocket knife, and then jumped into a well containing
twenty-five feet of water. The wound in his throat was half way around his
neck and the full depth of a knife blade. He had gone to the barn to feed,
and staying longer than usual, his mother went to see about him, fearing
that accident had befallen him. After looking through the barn she went to
a large well near by. Just as she looked into the well his body arose, but
before aid could be secured he sank. After cutting his throat he closed the
knife and replaced it in his pocket. The suicide is attributed to
despondency, growing out of business troubles. He had been very despondent
for several weeks. Mr. Davis was married last October to Miss Lizzie
Johnson, who for several years was a teacher in Belmount College, Nashville.
No man in the community stood higher than Mr. Davis. He was honest, upright
in all of his dealings and energetic. He was a member of the Methodist
Church of that place and was Secretary of Sunday school and Treasurer of the
Epworth League. His brother John Davis is L.& N. road supervisor on the
Henderson division. Davis attempted to kill himself several weeks ago by
the use of drugs.
