JOHN BURR DILDAY
Funeral service for John Burr Dilday, 60, retired carpenter of the Lampkin community, who died Tuesday of a shotgun wound in the chest, were held this residence at 10 o'clock at the family residence with Rev. E. D. Holloway, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Monroe, officiating. Interment followed in the Riverview Burial Park here under direction of Kilpatrick Funeral Home of Farmerville.
Mr. Dilday is survived by his wife:
Three sisters:
Mrs. Melissa Grant of Chicago
Miss Beulah Dilday of Sedalia, Mo
Mrs. Maude Erling of Sedalia, Mo
One brother:
Clarence Dilday of Ohio
Three step-children:
Mrs. Vincent P Tullos of Monroe
Mrs. O. T. Trichel of Swartz
Bert Adams of Lempkin
Dr. J. T. French, parish coroner, who investigated the death, said Dilday had died of a self-inflected wound, having placed the muzzle of a 12-guage shotgun against his chest and pulled the trigger. The distance tore a gaping hole just above the victim's heart, he said.
Dilday's act was attributed to ill health, according to Dr. French. He was said to have left a note on a bedroom dresser of the Dilday home that said, "goodbye to all . . . there was no cause, only bad health."
