TWO BURIED IN ONE GRAVE
JOHN T. TRICE, of Talbot County, Kills Himself when he hears of his Wife's
Demise.

Here is a pathetic story of love, unhappiness and death that is seldom
equaled.
Mr. and Mrs. John T. Trice were among the most respected families of the
state. They formally lived in Atlanta and were well known in this city.
Mrs. N.C. Carr, Jr who lives at 174 South Pryor street, this city; Miss
Florence Trice, of Atlanta, and Henry Trice, of Mobile, are children.
Several weeks ago Mrs. Trice came to Atlanta to visit her daughter, Mrs.
Carr. She was soon taken ill with typhoid fever, and notwithstanding assiduous
efforts to save her life, she expired last Friday morning at 5 o'clock.
The husband was in Mobile AL, on a visit to his son at the time. He was
notified by wire of the death of his wife. Realizing that life would be
devoid of all its sweetness without his companion, he decided he did not
care to live longer and immediately took his own life. His sad end caused
a terrible shock in that community.
Both bodies were taken to Talbotton, the old home, and were interred in
the same grave in Oakhill cemetery at that place with impressive ceremonies
Saturday afternoon. The Atlanta Constitution
