Wesley Self
(1870 - )

Cousin Ed writes:

"One of my grandfather's brothers was Wesley Self. I found his birth year (1870), his wedding licence

(25 May 1890) and even an old picture but he dropped out of sight after the 1894/96 Macon GA city directory. (The picture has "died Young" written on the back.)

But I just acquired two clippings from the past;

"1) The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph, Sat morning, March 23 1895

" 'NO SELF-SUPPORT. The young wife of Wesley Self prosecuted him in the city court yesterday for failing to support their 16 months-old child. The case was heard before Judge Ross without a jury. Witnesses for the plaintiff testified that Mrs. Self and her babe were compelled to live on the charity of relatives. The defense proved that Self was physically unable to earn a support for himself, and that he could not be expected to support the Self family. He was acquitted.'

"2) The Macon (Georgia) Telegraph, Sun morning, August 8 1897

"'CHARGED WITH BURGLARY. And Detective Ford Says His Prisoner Tried to Shoot Him.

Wesley Self, a young white man, was arrested yesterday by Detective Ford, who charges him with robbing S. B. Merritt's carriage shop of $25 worth of tools. He was committed to jail. Detective Ford says that Self attempted to shoot him in the back while he had him under arrest in his office.'"
