C. W. Cummings Commits Suicide
Hopkins Man Said To Worry Over Marital Trouble
Divorced One Wife Married Another
Was Foreman of Burlington Section Gang—Found by Worker Near Railroad Bridge
C. [harles] W. Cummings, foreman of the Burlington section gang at Hopkins, committed suicide between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning at the railroad bridge that crosses the 102 River one-half mile north of the Burlington station. He shot himself through the heart with a 22-caliber rifle.
Mr. Cummings started up the track on his way to work and passed the section house, where the rest of the men were working. Twenty minutes later one of the section hands passing the same way saw Mr. Cummings lying on the ground and going over to investigate he found him dead.
The cause of the suicide is thought to be marital troubles. Mr. Cummings divorced his first wife last year and married his second wife about three months ago. The child of his first marriage, a little boy of about three years, lives at Marshall with its mother's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Whitten. It is said that Mr. Cummings wanted the child but so far had been unable to get it.
Before the divorce suit, which was filed in September 1915, Mr. Cummings filed suit for $10,000 against William Louden for alienation of his wife's affections. This suit was dismissed before the divorce proceedings came up and Mr. Cummings then divorced his wife. The child has lived with Mrs. Cummings' parents since that time. Mrs. Cummings (No. 1) came to Hopkins to visit from Creston, Ia., but it is not known whether this visit had anything to do with the suicide.
Besides his second wife, Mr. Cummings has a sister, Mrs. Lo [renzo] Hopple, who lives in Hopkins.
O. H. Sayler took charge of the body. No funeral arrangements have been made.

Cummings Funeral
Services For Suicide Will Be Held Tomorrow
Note Is Kept a Secret Dead Man Had Been Despondent for Several Days—In Best of Spirits Morning of Tragedy
The funeral of C. [harles] W. Cummings, section foreman, who shot himself through the head with a rifle yesterday morning at the Burlington bridge, near Hopkins, will be held at Mr. Cummings' home in Hopkins at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Because of the absence of Dr. Will Wallis, county coroner, no inquest will be held, the case being obviously one of suicide.
Mr. Cummings was apparently in good spirits the morning of the tragedy, although he had been despondent for some days previous, according to his friends. When he left home yesterday morning he took his rifle with him. As he passed through town some of his friends joked with him, asking him if he had a hunter's license, etc. He laughingly replied that he was only going to kill rats. Arriving at the station he got on his push car and went up the track about a half mile from the station. A half hour later, when he did not return, his workmen became uneasy and went in search of him. They found him near the railroad bridge, his rifle beside him and a bullet hole in his breast.
A search through his pockets revealed his watch, around which was wrapped a note, scarcely decipherable, and these were in turn wrapped in a white and red handkerchief. The note was given to his present wife and it is her wish that the contents be kept from the public.
Mr. Cummings' second marriage took place a little over a month ago and to all appearances he was happy with the exception of the last few days. His first wife and small son are in Hopkins at present.

HOPKINS – Hopkins Man Shoots Self in Head Monday
Charles Cummings, Section Foreman, Fires Bullet Through Brain
Act Committed Under Railway Bridge North of Hopkins—Unable to Secure Custody of First Wife's Child Probable Cause.
Charles Cummings, 35 years old, committed suicide north of Hopkins about 11 o'clock Monday morning by sending a bullet through his head. No arrangements have yet been made at this writing regarding the funeral services.
Cummings who is the section foreman for the railroad out of Hopkins north, went to work with his men Monday morning and went to a place about one half north of the city. He seemed to be in the best of spirits. About an hour before noon, he went under a bridge above where his men were working and placed a 32 revolver in his mouth and fired. The bullet tore through his brain coming out the top of his head.
His workmen, hearing the shot, ran to the place and found the body. They notified people at Hopkins and Dr. Maxwell, the station agent and the undertaker went to the scene of the shooting in a hand car, bringing the body back to Hopkins and placed in the Sayler undertaking establishment. Cummings had been divorced from his first wife, a Hopkins girl and a daughter of Leonard Whitten, and had recently married a girl from Illinois. He was the father of a 3 year old boy by his first wife and it is thought that because he was unable to obtain the custody of his child was the reason for the shooting. His first wife arrived in Hopkins last Saturday. The man left a note stating his reasons for the act, but its contents are not obtainable at this time. It was not decided Monday whether a coroner's inquest was necessary.

Section Foreman Commits Suicide
Charles Cummings, section foreman at Hopkins, committed suicide Monday morning by shooting himself with a small caliber rifle. He placed the muzzle of the weapon in his mouth and fired, the bullet passing through his brain and out through the top of his head.
Cummings is about 35 years of age and was married some years ago to a Miss Whitten from whom he is now divorced and was recently married to a young woman who previously resided in Illinois. A three year old son by the former wife and held by her is supposed to be the cause that led up to the suicide.
The former wife, who is married again, has had custody of the child, and refuses to give it up, which probably induced the fit of despondency that ended in suicide.
Cummings joined his crew Monday morning and they preceded to work, but shortly after he left them and walked to the bridge north of Hopkins and went beneath it, where his men, who becoming alarmed at his absence, found the body, when they started to search for him. A note was left by the suicide, but the contents have not been given to the public.

Hopkins Man Ended His Life
Harman [Harmon] Davis, 75 years old, and one of the oldest residents in Hopkins, committed suicide at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at his home in West Hopkins by shooting himself. He placed the muzzle of the gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger with his foot. It was a shotgun.
Mr. Davis had been acting strangely for some time and his suicide was not a surprise to those who knew him. He told his wife some time ago that he wished all guns and knives were out of his sight, because it was a temptation to use one on himself every time he saw one. He was a retired brick mason.
The coroner's inquest was being held at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon as The Democrat-Forum received the news. Justice W. L. Miles was appointed to hold the inquest by Dr. Wm. Wallis, Jr., coroner, who was unable to reach Hopkins in time to hold one.
Mr. Davis is survived by his wife and one son, living in Spokane, Wash.

Rites Thursday Funeral of George W. DeMott At Presbyterian Church
Spent Life in County Was Born on Farm Near Hopkins—Held Elective Offices of County and Township
The funeral services for George W. Demott, who died yesterday afternoon at his home, 127 South Fillmore, will be held at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the First Presbyterian Church conducted by the pastor, the Rev. S. D. Harkness. The body will be interred in Miriam cemetery.
The body will lie in state at the family residence from 10 to 1 o'clock Thursday.
Was Born in County
Mr. Demott was born in 1871 on the Demott farm of 212 acres, five miles southwest of Hopkins. He was one of five sons of Henry Demott, who died at the Demott farm home three years ago. The father came to Hopkins township from Indiana in the fall of 1865 and continued to reside on the same farm until his death.
When 12 years old, George Demott contracted a fever which permanently crippled him and left him in a weakened condition the rest of his life. He was educated in the public grade and high schools of Hopkins township, and continued to reside on the Demott farm until eight years ago when he was elected to the office of county clerk of Nodaway county, which office he held continuously until January 1 of this year.
Holds Township Office, Too
Before being elected county clerk, however, he served two two-year terms as collector of Hopkins township and also was a Democratic candidate for county treasurer two years before being elected county clerk the first time. He was not a candidate this last year for the county office.
Upon retiring from public office Mr. Demott has been preparing to move to a 120-acre farm he recently secured six miles east of Maryville, by trading his town residence at 127 South Fillmore street. He also owned an 11-acre farm north of Maryville but never resided on it.
The illness which caused the death of Mr. Demott is the third serious period which he has had since becoming a resident of Maryville. His health, however, has never been of the best.
Mr. Demott was married to Miss Belle Siegfried, then of Hopkins, thirteen years ago. To this union three children were born. They are John Allen, 9 years old; Lou Belle and Jessie Fay. Mrs. Siegfried, the mother of Mrs. Demott, who now lives in Lamar, Col., arrived in Maryville a few days ago to visit her son-in-law.
Was Active Church Worker
Besides his wife, three children and mother, Mrs. Henry Demott, of Hopkins, Mr. Demott is survived by two brothers, John William Demott of near Hopkins, Fred Demott of Saskatchewan, Canada, and two sisters, Mrs, Benjamin Witte of near Hopkins and Mrs. George Thompson of near Hopkins.
Mr. Demott was a member of the First Presbyterian church of this city and always has been an active worker in that church. He was a member of Nodaway lodge, No. 470, A. F. and A. M.
All of Mr. Demott's relatives and their families, with the exception of the brother living in Canada, are in the city, called here by his illness and death. Mrs. Demott's father, Mr. Siegfried, of Lamar, Col., an aunt from Brownston, Neb., and a brother from Bloomington, Ill., will arrive in Maryville tonight to attend the funeral.

Cynthia D. [elphina] Wheeler, daughter of John and Keziah Wheeler, was born Jan. 9, 1835, in Guilford County, N. C. She was married to Isiah Dillon November 12, 1852. To this union were born five children, four girls and one boy, one girl dying at the age of two and a half years. Her husband died May 6, 1864, leaving her with four small children. In the fall of the same year she came to Indiana, bringing her small family, where she reared them to womanhood and manhood. She came to Missouri with her children in the early eighties. June 26, 1883, she was married to Chas. K. [ing] Redman, who departed this life Dec. 24, 1894. She has made her home with her daughter, Mrs. L. H. Cook, for the last twenty-three years, where she passed away July 25, 1921, at the age of 86 years, 6 months and 14 days. She is survived by her daughter, Cora Cook of Grant City and son, Lincoln I. Dillon of Vesper, Kansas. Both were at her bedside when the end came, the other two daughters having gone home a few years before. She had 32 living grandchildren. Her devotion to home and family was very great. Her words were not many but well-chosen and her kindly advice and wise counsel will be sadly missed by all. The loss and sorrow falls very heavily upon the entire family. In early womanhood she was converted and joined the Methodist church, which was a great comfort to her through the many years. All who were acquainted with her knew the sweet Christian spirit that characterized her life and her example and precept had ever been " Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so unto them." She spoke freely of the coming change and anticipated the life beyond with great peace and joy. She said her mission upon earth was completed and surely "She hath done what she could," and a long, useful and beautiful life on earth is ended. "But her works do follow her." A short service was conducted at her late home and the funeral services were held at the Methodist church at Hopkins, Mo., at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. Stiles of Grant City. Interment in the Hopkins cemetery.
