This community was greatly shocked to learn of the death of Mr. E. v. Seutter of Jackson, which occurred in that city on Thursday night of last week. He was discovered in his own room on Friday morning with a pistol by his side and a bullet in his head. The verdict of the corroner’s jury was that he came to his death from a pistol shot inflicted by his one hand. Mr. Seutter was seventy-three years of age and a native of Swabia, Germany. He came to Raymond when a young man and engaged in the jewelry and photographic business. He removed to Jackson in 1865, where he built up a large business. He left no message to tell why he took his own life, but it is supposed that he did it in a fit of melancholia, brooding over the death of his wife which occurred but one year from the time of his death. His remains were interred in the Odd fellows cemetery at Raymond, Saturday evening. A great many of his friends from Jackson came down to attend the funeral and a large number from the town also attended. He had many friends here where he lived for many years, who held him in very high esteem. Additional Comments: Julia H. von Seutter died in Jackson, Miss.
