HATFIELD, Eli. "Suicide in Fentress."
The Morgan Dispatch furnishes the following additional particulars of the death of Eli HATFIELD, a merchant and postmaster at Travisville, Fentress county, who suicided some days since: Deceased had, for several years, been addicted to intemperance, and had become embarrassed in business, and indebted to the merchants from whom he had purchased his goods and probably others. Some of his creditors were at his house seeking a settlement with him, when he remarked to them, "I feel bad and will go up stairs and lay down and rest awhile." He did so, and had not been gone long when the report of a pistol was heard up stairs. Some parties went up, and to their utter astonishment found that he had shot himself through the head with a large army pistol, having placed it near the right temple and fired. He struggled a short time, and died without speaking. [Source: Knoxville Daily Tribune, Knoxville, Knox Co., Tn, Thurs., 28 June 1877, p4. Note: The Morgan Dispatch was a Morgan Co., Tn paper.
