Dr. Ed Marshall
ROME. On.. Feb 8 One of the most
tragic suicides took place in Cedartown last Monday that ever occurred
in this section of the country. Dr. Ed Marshall, a son of Dr. E. B.
Marshall of Rome, killed himself with a pistol, and the remains were
brought here and buried this afternoon.
A sad story is related in connection with the affair. Not long ago the
young doctor fell desperately in love with a young lady in Arkansas and
was married to her very soon after the Introduction. They lived
together for a few
months in much happiness. The young husband loved his bride with all
the devotion of his true nature, but his young wife began to give his
attention to another man, and so an elopement followed. This almost
crazed Dr. Marshall, and to drown his sorrow. he sought relief in
opiates, and thus his young life was wrecked. It is Indeed a deplorable
affair.
There was no young man in this section of the state more highly thought
of, and he had already attained considerable success in his profession.
He was the heart's delight of his good mother, and a great pride to his
noble father. The two are grief-stricken. They seemed crushed to earth.
The body was laid to rest at Myrtle Hill and the pall-bearers, close
friends of the family, were Joe Glover, J. N. Harrison, W H.. Wright,
Dr. W. H. Shaw, Bernard Hale and Wright Willingham.
