  	Killed Self With Pistol Charles Forestel, Union Army Veteran, Took His Own Life. Charles forestel, aged about 75 years, committed suicide at his home in Nichols street, this city, last Friday afternoon by shooting himself in the head with a revolver. Death was instantaneous. After dinner, he left home to attend to business in connection with his pension, and while away visited the home of Mrs Sue Holt, in South Jefferson street, where he borrowed a pistol. Then he took a ride in an automobile with David Smith, returing home about 2:30. He went through his house and stepped into the backyard where he shot himself. The shot was heard by his sister-in-law, Miss Minnie Judt, who found him lying with his head and body of the back porch and his feet on the steps. Nothing was left to indicate the reason for his suicide, and the inference is that it was due to ill health. Last winter he was bedfast with rheumatism, and recently he had been suffering from the same trouble. His family relations were pleasant and up to the last moment he seemed in normal spirits. The deceased was born in New York (he was born in Ireland) and served in the Union army during the civil war. He came to Fulton after the war, and for some years was in the saloon business. He married Miss Fannie Judt of this city, some years ago and she survives as does a sister, who lives in New York City. A short funeral service was conducted at the home Sunday afternoon by Rev. W.W. Stoddart of the Presbyterian church, and interment was in the new cemetery.
