"FUNERAL SERVICES SUNDAY AFTERNOON FOR DR. HAYMOND
"Dr. Raymond G. Earl Haymond, one of Shelby county's most distinguished citizens, ended his own life yesterday.
"A retired physician, Dr. Haymond was a native of Shelby county but had spent the major part of his life in Louisville. He was found dead at his home north of Waldron at 9:30 a.m. Friday morning by a niece, Juanita Haymond. According to Dr. C.J. Price, county coroner, he had shot himself with a .38 caliber revolver. The coroner said that the muzzle of the weapon had been placed under his chin, with the bullet coursing upward into his head.
"Dr. Haymond's action in taking his own life was attributed to ill health. He had been in poor health since early in 1943 and his condition had been described as serious for the past three weeks. Suffering from cardiac asthma, Dr. Haymond referred to his illness in a note which also stated that "I guess this is the best way."
"The 69 year-old physician had been very active in many civic programs over the county since his retirement 10 years ago. He had maintained an active membership in a number of organizations. Among other civic affiliations, he had given a great deal of time and support to Boy Scouting activities in the county and had been chairman of the Camp Flat Rock Scout project. During the late war, he had the chairmanship of the county war price and rationing board for an extended period and had held membership on several price control panels.
"Early in life he became a member of the Waldron Methodist Church. He served as a medical corps captain in the First World War. Dr. Haymond was a member of the Waldron Lodge No. 217, F.&A.M., Waldron Order of Eastern Star, Scottish Rite order of Louisville, Kosair Shrine Temple at Louisville, Shelbyville Victory Post No. 70, American Legion, the Elks Club at Louisville, the S.A.E. social fraternity and Pi Mu legal fraternity. He was one of the organizer of the Waldron Community Club.
"Born in Waldron, February 4, 1878, Dr. Haymond was the son of James W. and Celesta Adeline (Crisler) Haymond. In 1897, he was married to Alma Watts, in Shelby county. Two children were born to the union, and one of them, Mrs. Dott Copeland, of Mooresville, survives. Another daughter, Justine LaVerne, died in infancy. His wife preceded him in death in March, 1903. Other survivors are two grandchildren, Patricia and Jimmy Copeland, a brother, Fred Haymond, of Indianapolis; a sister, Mrs. Henry Meloy, of Shelbyville, and several nieces and nephews. Three brothers and four sisters preceded him.
"A graduate of the Waldron high school, Dr. Haymond was privately tutored before entering the University of Louisville medical school, from which he was graduated in 1909. He became associated with the Pope hospital at Louisville and later became the institution's head an owner. He operated the hospital until 1937, when he retired and returned to his home in Waldron.
"Funeral services will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock in the Charles M. Ewing mortuary. Officiating at the rites will be the Rev. Fred Young, of Franklin, assisted by the Rev. Vernon Lallement, of Stockwell. Burial will be made in the Ogden cemetery, south of Waldron."
(Ed. NOTE: Ogden Cemetery is presently called Van Pelt Cemetery.)
