Village Saddened and Shocked by Passing of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bottom
Two of Elkland’s Oldest Citizens Found Dead in Bed Last Thursday Afternoon

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bottom of Elkland were found dead in bed at 5:30 p.m., Thursday by representatives of the Kenyon Funeral Home and Police Office Crane.  According to Coroner Harry Williams the death was caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. The aging couple had been missing by neighbors since, January 1st., but since it was believed that they were visiting a son, Gordon, residing in Buffalo, no effort was made to investigate their absence. Charles Norton, a close fried of the old people, in recovering from illness, refused to believe that the Bottoms had journeyed to Buffalo, without advising him. Examining the exterior of the Bottom home he noted the screen doors, both front and rear, were hiked from the inside.  He then confirmed his suspicions by telephoning the son in Buffalo, who revealed that he had no word from his parents in some time. Mr. Norton then called police officer Crane, who forced entrance of the E. Main St., home, accompanied by Morticians Thorne Kenyon and Charles Kenyon, and friends Charles Fisk and Kenneth Coleman.  The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Bottom were found in a down stairs bedroom, in which an open gas fire was still flaming.  An accumulation of unread newspapers upon the porch indicated the deaths took place on or about January 1st.  The bodies were removed to the Kenyon Funeral Home. Fred Bottom was born, August 29, 1869 in Farmington Township and spent his entire life in the vicinity of the Cowanesque Valley.  One of the valleys oldest residents, he helped lay the road bed, between Elkland and Cowanesque for the Fall Brook Railroad (now the N.Y.C.) and at the time of his death was a valued employee of the Elkland Leather Co. A double funeral service was conducted at the Kenyon Funeral Home, the Rev. Frank Russell officiating.  Mr. Bottom was buried at Nelson, Saturday and Mrs. Bottom at Tioga, Sunday.

HOYT - Emory Hoyt, a prominent young farmer of Tioga, committed suicide some time during the forenoon of last Sunday by shooting himself through the head with a heavy powered rifle. The body of the unfortunate man was discovered Sunday afternoon, lying in a pool of blood on the floor of his barn, by the driver of a mild truck who had called at the farm to collect the milk which would later be delivered to the condensery at Lawrenceville. The driver, finding the milk cans standing empty, proceeded to investigate the matter and a few moments search revealed the lifeless from of Mr. Hoyt stretched out and cold in death. Medical aid was summoned, but it was found that the man had been dead for several hours. Coroner White deputized Carlos P. Darling, J.P., of Lawrenceville, to act in his stead, but an inquest was deemed unnecessary as the circumstances surrounding the case pointed conclusively to suicide. It is the opinion of those who viewed the premises that Mr. Hoyt sat down with the muzzle of the gun against his head and pulled the trigger with the aid of a stick. The instrument of death was found lying beside the body and a short distance away, a small stick which was evidently used to press the spring that sent the heavy charge crashing into his brain. It is said that Mr. Hoyt had been brooding for several days over family difficulties and, in the absence of any other known motive, his friends are constrained to attribute his rash act to that case. - Wellsboro Gazette, August 7, 1924
