The Ionia Sentinel-Standard, Wednesday, May 9, 1934

Charles Edlin, 72, retired Easton township farmer, shot and killed himself 
about 8 o’clock Wednesday morning at his home, 335 East Washington street.  He 
was found in bed with a bullet hole in his forehead by his wife when she 
returned from the dairy with milk for breakfast.  The gun, a 32 revolver, was 
found lying in the crook of his arm.

Members of the family told officers that Edlin had been despondent over 
failing health and had complained recently of illness, following his return 
from Florida four weeks ago, after spending the winter months there.  He had 
spent several winters in Florida.

Edlin was a well-to-do Easton township farmer and had lived in the vicinity of 
the Welch school for many years.  He came to Ionia county from the vicinity of 
Carson City and was a prominent figure in farm circles in Easton township for 
many years.

Coroner Orin Stone said there would be no inquest.

Mr. Edlin was born in Bloomer township, Montcalm county, in 1864.  He is 
survived by his wife, Cynthia; two daughters, Mrs. Dewey Hammond, of Charlotte 
and Mrs. Roy Terry, of Ionia; also one son, Roy Edlin, of Easton township.
