Jehu Thomas, who lives south of Rogers about half-way to Lowell, killed himself last Thursday afternoon by shooting himself with a shotgun. He was 74 years old and had been in poor health for some time. Late in the afternoon while the members of the family were out of the house, Mr. Thomas got out of bed, secured the shotgun and blew the top of his head off, death resulting instantly. Mr. Thomas had lived in this county for many years and was held in high esteem by all and the sad news of his unexpected suicide was a great shock to friends and relatives. He is survived by a wife and four children. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the home, burial at McDaniel cemetery.
