Funeral services for Mr. DeVon MORRETT, age 28, of Elkhart, formerly of Akron, 
who committed suicide, were held Tuesday morning at the Church of God in Akron.
Thursday, March 11, 1926

Elkhart, Ind., March 11. -- "I'm leaving this world because of family 
troubles. I hope friends will forgive me for doing this."
Charles DeVon MORRETT, age 32, New York Central brakeman, wrote these words on 
a slip of paper, laid the note on the table in the dining room of his home, 
soaked a sponge of absorbent cotton in chloroform and weighted it over his 
nose and went to bed.
On Sunday morning Everett MORRETT, his brother, went to the home to pay 
Charles a visit. He found the body there. Coroner Eugene HEIDEMAN called it 
suicide.
The man's act climaxed a series of domestic disputes and quarrels, according 
to relatives.

Morrett, formerly of Akron, was known here. The News-Sentinel headline 
Wednesday erred in stating "Woman Who Committed Suicide - - -,"
