His mother died 6 years ago, and he and his father were living with a relative by the name of Mr. Smith. All the folks went away from home that evening, leaving him alone. His fsther returned late at night, and not finding him at home, supposed that he had gone to one of the neighbors. The next morning when he woke up, the first thing that greeted his eyes when he stepped outdoors, was his 17 year old son lying in the yard dead with the top of his head blown off. In his pocket was found a note, written in his hand, and saying, "I have nothing to live for. Nobody is to blame for this but myself. Bury me in the Linebarger Cemetery."
