Mrs. J. G. Phinazee
The information contained on this website is not intended for commercial use.
Mr. J. G. Phinazee is a prominent citizen of Monroe County, who lives near High
Falls. For some months his wife has shows signs of mental derangement and had
made an attempt to take her own life while under the strange hallucinations,
but on Wednesday she succeeded in accomplishing her design by going in to a
room to herself, placing a paper about her clothes an saturating her apparel
with kerosene oil an then setting herself on fire. She was shortly discovered
but too late to save her life. She lingered about five hours and died. No
cause could be found to induce her to act so rashly.
Her remains were brought to Jackson on Tuesday and conveyed to McDonough, her
old home, for burial. She was the mother of Messrs. Tom Sutton and Paul Turner
of McDonough, who have our sympathies, as well as the husband and other
relatives and fiends.
