      Notes: According to her obituary (Taken from the obituary page of the The Johnson County Historical & Genealogical Society's website.):
      "Mrs. Maude Roman, well known resident of West Paintsville, shot and killed herself about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. A charge from a shotgun practically tore the woman's breast and death was almost instantaneous. No one was in the room when the tragedy took place. A small son rushed into the room after hearing the shot and found his mother dying. She was lying in the floor with the discharged gun close by. Mrs. Roman had been in ill health for many months and is said to have become mentally deranged. This, it is believed, led Mrs. Roman to end her life in such a tragic manner. Mrs. Roman was past 53 years of age, having been born May 14, 1888, at Mash Fork in Magoffin County. She was a daughter of Rev. Elijah H. Prater, who died at Volga, this county, a few years ago. Mrs. Roman was twice married. Her first marriage was to Bruce Caudill in 1908, and her second marriage was to Fleet Roman. Besides her husband she is survived by three children, Arnold Caudill, Mrs. Lucy Conley, and Flett [sic] Roman, Jr., all of Paintsville. She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Jean Spears, of Paintsville, and five brothers, Warnie and Walter Prater, both of Mash Fork, Warrick and Wardie, Volga, and Cecil Prater of Paintsville. Mrs. Roman moved to Paintsville in 1919, from Magoffin County, where she has since resided. Mrs. Roman was one of the city's best and most industrious women. She was a member of the Freewill Baptist Church and joined the Lick Springs Church in 1903. If Mrs. Roman had any troubles to cause her to take her life (except it be ill health) it was not known to her family and neighbors. According to neighbors the suicide was well planned and carried out. Mrs. Roman waited until she was alone, then secured the shot gun and fired the shot into her left breast. A stick found next to the gun indicates that the woman placed the muzzle of the gun against her breast and tripped the trigger with the stick. It is said that Mrs. Roman before firing the charge into her body had tried the gun out by firing a shot through a door panel in the room."
