C. H. Cottle
Eugene Or, May 26. - C. H. Cottle who resided on the river road just beyond Meriau's Park, committed suicide between 7 and 8 o'clock Saturday evening by shooting himself through the head with a small rifle. The bullet passed through the man's brain and death soon followed.
C. H. Cottle was born in Bucksport, Maine, and was at the time of his death aged 58 years. When a boy he removed with his parents to Wisconsin. In 1860 he enlisted in the army and served his country faithfully during the four years' struggle. He was one of the soldiers martyred by imprisonment in the Andersonville prison. After the war he settled in Illinois, removing from there to Sioux County, Iowa, where he married Mrs. Elma Howard, who survives him. He afterward removed to Sheldon, O'Brien county, Iowa, where he successfully conducted a wagon shop and a furniture and undertaking business.
In 1883 he removed to Salem, Oregon where he was identified with the State Insurance Co. until 1886, when he removed to Eugene, engaging in the grocery business for about two years in partnership with his stepson, C. J. Howard. Since then he has lived either in Eugene or on his farm where he died. He leaves a widow, daughter, Ethel M. Cottle and stepson, C. J. Howard.
