Chauncey PURSE |
A shocking suicide occurred at Pine City on Wednesday of
this week. Chauncey Pierce, an old soldier who has been for some time an
inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at Bath, secured a furlough before election
and came home to vote, since which time he had been stopping in that vicinity.
On the day named he is reported to have borrowed a butcher knife of Mrs.
Riley Crowell, and going behind a barn on the premises cut his throat,
life being extinct when discovered little later. Pierce was one of four
brothers who served in the army, all being noted as good soldiers. He was
homeless, old crippled and despondent, and this doubtless accounts for
the rash act. If our memory is not at fault he made a similar attempt a
few years ago but was frustrated in his design. Deceased was the father
of John Pierce, of this township. (handwritten on article – Nov. 13, 1895) |

CUT FROM EAR TO EAR Chauncey Purse, an Old Veteran Commits
Suicide At Pine City Yesterday - He had said That He Would Kill Himself
After He Had Heard the Election Returns – He was Seventy-two Years of age.
- A short time before election Chauncy Purse, a well know character about
the city, was an inmate of the Soldiers’ Home at Bath. The overcrowded
condition of the home rendered it necessary to turn the old man out and
he came to Pine City where he has since resided with a family whom he knew.
The old man was subject to fits of melancholia and was a very eccentric
individual. A day or two before election the old soldier told the man of
the house with whom he was living that as soon as he heard the election
returns he was going to kill himself. The people supposed that he was out
of his head and gave him a severe scolding for talking in that manner.
Wednesday afternoon between 2 and 4 o’clock he went out in the orchard
to get some apples. He came back into the house with them and then said
