Bertram E. Bloodworth Takes Life By Hanging



"Bertram E. Bloodworth, 78, took his own life, Tuesday morning by
hanging himself in a smoke house near his home. He was found dead
Tuesday morning around six o'clock by his wife. Mrs. Bloodworth was
preparing breakfast and having called him several times and getting no
answer she started looking about the neighborhood for his whereabouts,
as he often visited with neighbors that time of morning. Mrs.
Bloodworth had fed the cats in the smoke house prior to trying to locate
her husband but didn't' notice the body until she returned to the smoke
house looking for him.

Mr. Bloodworth had been in ill health the past ten years and the past
two years had been losing the sight of his eyes. He was a retired
farmer, moving to Madison with his wife two years ago in August. Mr.
and Mrs. Bloodworth celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last fall.
He was born August 15, 1884, and was reared in the home of his
grandmother, Mrs. Sarah Bloodworth. He was a member of the Holliday
I.O.O.F. Lodge and the Holliday Rebekah Lodge, and the Madison Masonic
Lodge and the Eastern Star.

He is survived by his wife and several cousins, Jennie Bloodworth,
Madison, Dennis and William Bloodworth, of Kansas City; Jessie Davis,
Pertshire, Mississippi; Mrs. Ruth Frank, Evergreeen, Colo.; Mrs. Ruby
Smiley, Florida and Glen Bloodworth, Waco, Texas. Services are being
