"From Jefferson Cor. Coroner Joseph F. Duell was called to Charlotteville May 30 to hold an inquiry regardnig the death of David Lamont Chickering, who was found dead in his room that morning. Mr. Chickering, who was 79 year of age, had spent the winter with his son, Norman, at Delhi. This spring he returned to his home and was being cared for by his grand daughter Mrs. Robert Harder. She heard him moving about his room near midnight, but thought nothing of it as he was accustomed to be up late. In the morning when she went to call him she found him hanging to a post of his bed. The coroner decided he had died about one o'clock. The suicide evidently had been planned for some time. On a tablet on his stand was a note dated May 28, 1930, directing attention to business papers in which his sons John and Norman were interested.
Besides the son mentioned, Mr. Chickering had another son, John, a resident of Voorheesville. One daughter died several years ago. He is also survived by a brother and and two sisters, all residents of Cobleskill. This is the second suicide by hanging to have occurred in Charlotteville within the past eight months."
