Walter Crump, 41, Ends Own Life, Feb. 21, 1924

Ends Own Life

Walter M. Crump, general manager of the Vance Cotton Mill and one of the best known men of Salisbury, died Saturday afternoon at his home in Salisbury, death being self inflicted and the result from a bullet wound in the right temple.

Mr. Crump was 41 years of age and a son of Dr. W.L. Crump. A few weeks ago Mr. Crump underwent an operation in Baltimore for mastoiditis and since then he has not seemed himself. It is said that he wrote his will last Friday night.
