CHARLES E. BERRY TAKES OWN LIFE
Charles E. Berry, 68 year of age, took his own life about 12:30 o'clock this morning near his home at 528 Ninth Street East. He shot himself with an army rifle. Coroner H.H. Campbell said that he had evidently died instantly.
Ill health was given as the cause of the act, according to three notes he had written to friends and relatives.
The body was found by Sheriff C. A. Robinson behind a pile of cord wood in a vacant lot across the street from his home. A son returning from school at noon notified the sheriff's office after reading his father's note and the search was then made for the body. So far as can be learned no one heard the report of the gun.
Notes explaining his act were written to Mrs. Berry, his two sons, and to A.J. Shaw. He had been in ill health and despondent for a number of months.
