Suicide Taylor’s Body
Friends of George C. TAYLOR, the Pension Office messenger who committed suicide yesterday morning, arranged today for the transportation of his body to his home in Burgaw, N.C. A telegram was received this morning from TAYLOR’s father requesting that the remains be sent at once to his home. Yesterday the body was removed to Lee’s undertaking establishment and prepared for burial. It was not certain whether it will be sent to Burgaw this afternoon or tomorrow morning.
