James D. Madden Commits Suicide Monday Morning

Dodson Resident Ends His Life After Visit To Winnfield

James D. Madden, 62, a well known resident of Dodson, committed suicide at his
home at about 11 o'clock Monday morning.

It was reported that Mr. Madden had started on a business trip to Lecompte and
had stopped in Winnfield for a short while.  Instead of going on to Lecompte,
he returned to his home after the stop in Winnfield and stated that he was
ill.  He entered the bathroom and shortly after a shot was heard.  An
investigation was made and Mr. Madden was found lying dead on the floor.  No
note was left to explain the reason for the suicide.

Mr. Madden and his wife moved to Dodson a number of years ago and since that
time he had been engaged in various activities.

The deceased is survived by his wife; two daughters, Mrs. W. F. Stovall of
Jonesboro and Mrs. J. A. Stewart of Moorhead, Minnesota; and four
grandchildren.

Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon.
