A sad suicide: Gloom O'er spread the city Monday
upon hearing of the death of Professor Charles B Scott 13 Sept 1896. From an overdose of morphine taken during a temporary fit of despondency.
Charley was beloved by a large circle of friends and thought he had his faults, was ever a kind and true
friend and citizen. He has taught school in many districts of the county at various times and quite recently at New Castle and was Universally beloved
by his pupils. In 1885 he was associated with N B Fizer in the circulation of the St Francis County News and there learned a considerable of the mysteries of the composing room. For several years he has been the "extra man" at the times office, and
we are glad to say he was always painstaking and reliable when so employed. He was 36 years of age, unmarried, and a man of above average intelligence.. His family removed to St Francis County in 1883 from Danceyville, Tennessee. He was a member of The Knights Of Pythias, and one of it"s most regular attendants. He was buried Tuesday in the Forrest City Cemetery under the auspices of the above order and the services were conducted by Reverend F E Taylor in a very impressive manner.
