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,

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
