,'UncIe" Charlie WiIlingham Found
Hanging in His Barn.
Told a Neighbor That He Was "Trou.

Last Time He Was Seen.
WAS OF UNBALANCED MIND

"Uncle" Charlie Willingham,a well
known colored Baptist minister and
plasterer, WIS found dead, hanging
from stable rafter by a small hemp
rope yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
by his son "Dock" willingham, who
was searching for board with which
to repair fire place.
Willinghsm was last seen Saturday
at noon when he remarked to a neigh
Dor that he was troubled nigh unto
death" and adding, as he proceeded
to his home near the old fair grounds,
that he was not Icing to be among
them. This was the last seen of him
and yesterday morning when he failed
to show up his people became alarmed
and his son Dock went to the city to
Look for him. He was unsuccessful
and shortly after dinner found his IA

in the rear of the house, while he
was searching for the board.
Willingham's feet were just frsc-
tion Of an incn from the ground and
from all appearances no had been in
that position for many hours. It is
thought that he had gone to the sta
BILE and hung himself directly after
telling the neighbor that he was not
long for this world. There was a
water trough in the stable and from
all indications he jumped from this
after tying the rope to the rafter.
Coroner William Peal held an in
quest this morning and the verdict was
suicide, the result of an unbalanced
brain"
willingham was struck by an ILL
nois Central train last April and had
been slightly demented ever since.
His head was badly cut and bruised
and it is thought that his mind was
affected. He was born in Graves
county about 20 years ago but had
been living here the greater part OF
his life. He was well known in Pa
ducah, having repaired FIRE places for
numerous residents for the past 30
years. Three sons and . daughter, the
latter Of Chicago, survive him. The
funeral was held this afternoon at y
