The Cherokee Advance 16 Jun 1883 p 2
A Strange Suicide

The son of M. M. Donald, ten miles from Canton, drowned himself the 7th Inst. 
He was about 8 years of age.  He, with an older and younger brother were thining
(sic) corn in the field. They ran a race to the jug of water, and one of the
brothers beat this one to the place.  This made him furiously mad.  So he opened
his knife and attempted to cut his own throat. His older brother told him to
behave or he would tell his father, and that he would take his knife away from him 

The deceased boy answered, that he did not wish to live, and that he would thin
one more row of corn, then he would drown himself

When he finished the row, he started to the river. His brother, after a moment,
ran after him.  But the deceased out-ran him, having much the start, jumped in
the water and was drowned   His parents were always kind to him
