Trousdale shot and killed himself at this home, in the Fourth District of Henry county, Tenn., four miles north of Paris, Friday night. No cause can be assigned for the deed. He was in Paris during the day and seemed in good health and spirits. He returned home and went out on the front gallery, where the family were alarmed by the shot. They discovered him lying on his back dead, with a pistol on his breast. The 44- calibre bullet entered the skull, just behind the right ear, causing instant death. He was about fifty-five years of age.
