*Obituary (as written)
Rogers Democrat
Thursday, April 23, 1931

Mack Neal, 32, who shot himself at his home three miles northeast of Springdale Sunday in an attempt to end his own life, died late Wednesday afternoon in Fayetteville. Neal was said to have been despondent for some time through fear that his strawberry crop would be a failure and that berry prices would be low. His condition at first was regarded as critical but Tuesday it was believed he would recover. Wednesday he suddenly grew worse and was rushed to Fayetteville where he died a few minutes after his arrival. He was removed from Springdale to Fayetteville in a Callison ambulance. Neal fired a charge into his left breast just below the heart. After shooting himself Neal decided he did not want to die and made a valiant fight against his wound. However while en route to a Fayetteville hospital he gave up hopes of recovering and died shortly after reaching Fayetteville. Funeral services were held at White Oak cemetery west of Springdale Thursday afternoon.
