[1] - Tuesday, July 7, 1903, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)
-Mrs. Isaac GAY of
Buford township was found dead in bed this
morning. The cause of her death was heart
trouble. She had not been sick and her
death was altogether unexpected. Her
husband says he was attracted to her bed by their child crying about 2 o’clock,
when he found her dead. The death being
so sudden, Mr. GAY thought best to hold an investigation and sent for
Coroner EUBANKS, who empanelled a jury, consisting of Col. H. G. HOTCHKISS,
J. P. ROGERS, Rufus GRIFFIN, Frank DOSTER,
Frank MANGUM, and N. W. BROOM.
After making an examination the jury decided that the death was due to
natural causes. The deceased lady was
about 30 years old.
[2] - Tuesday, May 3, 1904, THE MONROE JOURNAL (Union County, N.C.)
-Mr. I. E. GAY, an old man, killed himself by blowing the top of his head off with a shotgun last Saturday afternoon. The deed was the result of careful premeditation and preparation. Indications suggest that he had been contemplating the act for some time. The deed was committed about four o’clock in the afternoon, in a few feet of the little house in which he lived in his son-in-law’s yard, in Buford township. The old man, who was about 70 years of age, had been married twice, the last time about twelve years ago. This wife died a few months ago, leaving two little girls, one three years old and the other six. Some time ago he sold the small amount of property which he had and sent these two children to Miss Mattie PERRY’S school at Marion. Becoming dissatisfied with this place some time ago, he brought them back and last week took them to the Rescue Home in Charlotte, where they now are…. The four children of his first wife are all grown and live in different sections, but with one of them, Mrs. George GAY, he had been making his home for some time….. [lengthy article]
