== Takes Own Life With Gun ==
"M. D. Mince, aged about 72 years, of the China Grove community, took his own
life Wednesday morning of last week by shooting himself in the mouth with a
single-barrel shot gun. The deplorable tragedy came as a shock to the entire
community, Mr. and Mrs. Mince had broken up housekeeping, owing to their mature
age, and were living with their son, Birt, and wife. Mr. Mince secured a shot
gun and went out to commit the fatal blow. The report of the gun was heard by
the family who found him a few minutes later. He was a good, quiet and peaceable
man and held the confidence of all his neighbors and friends. The only supposition
for his rash act was that he became discontent because he was unable,
physically, to care for himself and good wife. Besides his companion he leaves
several children and a host of relatives and friends who lament his untimely death.
Edgewood Enterprise."    The Canton Herald (Canton, Tex.), Vol. 37, No.
