Worry Over Financial Matters is Thought to Be Cause of Suicide. Dr. Horace O. Wilson, aged 47 years, one of Rison and Cleveland County's most prominent physicians, was found dead in his automobile two miles east of Rison on the Calmer road about 9:30 o'clock Thursday morning. The verdict of a coroner's jury at the inquest was that he died from poison that was self administered. A small empty bottle which had contained strychnine tablets was found in a pocket of his clothing. It is thought that he swallowed a quantity of tablets as position of the body indicated that death had resulted from strychnine poisoning, according to physicians who examined the body, before it was moved. No message or word was left to indicate a motive for his act, with the exception of a life insurance policy which he is said to have left on a table in the living room of his home. His act, however is attributed, by his friends, to worry and despondency over financial matters. The body was discovered by Raymond Nesbitt who passed the automobile parked near the road about 9 o'clock but thinking the physician asleep, came to Rison and unloaded a lumber truck which he was driving. When he came to the place on his return trip, however, he called to Dr. Wilson and failing to receive and answer, made investigations and discovered him to be dead. Physicians stated that he had been dead for an hour or more when discovered. Returning to Rison at once, Mr. Nesbitt reported finding the physician and a large crowd quickly left for the scene. The body was brought to the Sadler-Buie undertaking establishment where an inquest was held shortly before noon. Dr. Wilson was a native of Cleveland county and lived here almost his entire life. He had been practicing medicine for 22 years following his graduation. He was located at Calmer for several years prior to his removal here in 1918. He was recognized as one of the most able and successful physicians in this section of Arkansas and was beloved by all who knew him. He was a member of the local Methodist church, having professed faith as a lad. He was keenly interested in civic, moral and community affairs and will be missed by the entire county both professionally and socially. He is survived by his wife; one daughter, Miss Maxine Wilson of this city; three sisters, Mrs. Flora West of Hagerman, New Mexico; Mrs. L.H. Acklin of England and Mrs. A.T. Crosby of this city. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the tabernacle by the Rev. A.W. Hamilton, Dr. Wilson's pastor, who spoke tenderly of the ties of friendship which existed between them and who paid a beautiful tribute to the years that the physician had given in service to suffering humanity. The pallbearers were : Active-Jack Owen, Craig Sadler, Searcy Elrod, M.L. Wilson, J.H. Thomasson, J.E. Norton, V.O. Thomasson, J.R. McLendon and Wallace Hobson. Honorary-Drs. A.J. Hamilton, Junius Ruth, J.D. Carter, F.J. Robertson, T.L. Adams, S.C. Johnson of Kingsland, J.B. Britt of Tucker, and J.S. Wilson of Monticello and O.M. Wilson. The services were attended by a crowd estimated at more than 2,000 people which is an indication of the love and appreciation in which he was held by those to whom he had ministered and with whom he had associated. Burial was in the family lot at Greenwood cemetery.
