5/31/1921 Wealthy Farmer of Madill Kills Self (Tuesday)
Financial Losses and Ill Health Blamed
Madill, May 30 – James H. Bounds, widely known farmer and stockman of Marshall county, living six miles south of Madill, killed himself Monday morning by firing a shot into his forehead with a pistol. He lived about an hour after the shooting but never regained consciousness. Financial losses coupled with ill health are given as reasons for the act. Mr. Bounds had returned recently from a several weeks visit to Mineral Wells and south Texas and apparently was much improved in health. Mr. Bounds owned several hundred acres of the finest land and was considered the wealthiest farmer and stockman in the county.
He is survived by his wife and two sons, all of whom were at the home when the shooting occurred. Funeral services will be held in Sherman, Texas, his home before removing to this county. His body will be buried in the West Hill cemetery in that city June 1.
