Notes |
- Reported by "The Southern Standard", Saturday, May 30, 1885;
"Our community was somewhat shocked this (Friday) morning to learn of the suicide of Enoch Byars, known also as Enoch Anderson. He lived in the old Mountain City Hotel with his family, by whom he was found about daylight this morning hanging from the top of one of the doors. Up to this writing we have been unable to learn the cause that led to the act. Following is the verdict of the coroner's jury:
State of Tennesse
Warren County
An inquisition holden at the Mountain City Hotel building, McMinnville, in the county and State aforesaid, on the 29th day of May 1885, before C.C. Smith, Justice of the Peace of said county upon the body of Enoch Byars there lying dead by the jurors whose names are hereto subscribed, who upon their oaths do say, that the said person came to his death by committing suicide by hanging himself with a rope, on the morning of May 29th, 1885.
In testimony whereof the said jurors have hereunto set their hands the day and date above.

Reported from "The New Era", Thursday, June 4, 1885;
"Last Friday morning quite an excitement was created on our streets by the announcement of the death of Enoch Byers, who committed suicide by hanging, about daylight of that morning, in an unoccupied room at the old McMinnville House. Mr. Byers had been in bad health for some time and it is thought that mental depression caused him to commit the rash act. The deceased was about fifty years of age, and leaves a dependent family as he was their only means of support. His remains were interred Saturday morning in the new Cemetery."

Reported by "The Enquirer", Vol. VI, No. 1, p. 26, March 1991;
"Enoch Byars and Jane were divorced March 29, 1866."
