LILLARD
A death that has brought deep sadness and shock to her numerous friends was that of Mrs. James M. Lillard last Thursday, who took her life at her home on the Burgin and Shakertown pike. Mrs. Lillard was about 50 years of age, a lovely and lovable woman, but for sometime past she had not been well, suffering with nervous depression that was unusual to her nature, but the result of an attack of influenza last winter. Just after noon, last Thursday she went to the attic of their pretty bungalow home, and when Mr. Lillard missed her about a quarter of an hour later and went in search of her, he found her suspended from the rafter by a small rope, which she had placed about her neck and evidently thrown her whole weight upon, for life was gone when he loosed the cord. Mrs. Lillard was formerly Miss Nannie Gritton and a splendid woman who was held in the highest esteem by every one who knew her. Sometime ago their home on the Jackson pike where they had been living for about twenty years, was sold and Mr. and Mrs. Lillard moved to the handsome bungalow which they purchased from Mr. Gwinn, on the Burgin and Shakertown pike, and since then her nervous depression seemed to have increased resulting in temporary insanity. The funeral was held at the Presbyterian church in this city, conducted by Rev. J. J. Rice, and the interment was at Spring Hill cemetery. Besides her husband she is survived by an only daughter, Mrs. R. Sprole Lyen, of this county.
