NEWSPAPER ABSTRACTS FROM "THE CLEBURNE NEWS", Heflin, Cleburne County, Alabama for Thursday, May 13, 1926
FORMER RESIDENT DEAD
Tallapoosa, Georgia, May 11th
An empty bottle labeled "carbolic acid" lying within ten feet of his body Monday morning told the story of the manner of the death of D.E. Cheuvront, who moved from Heflin to Tallapoosa about two months ago, the body being found by a boy who immediately reported to officials the finding of the body. A note addressed to his wife in which he made the statement that his course
was best, asking her to kiss their little girl goodbye for him, was found in his pocket. It was reported Monday that Mr. Cheuvront ate his breakfast at the usual time, went to the post office and later went home to place his cow in the pasture near where his body was found. The wrapping paper from which the bottle of acid had been taken was lying beside the body of the dead man when the first citizens reached the spot, the bottle being about ten feet away, according to the reports. Judge A.I. Head, to whom the matter was first reported, and Webb Baes, constable for this district were among the first officials to reach the scene. They found Mr. Cheuvront lying on his back, and he evidently died without a struggle. As soon as the finding of the body was reported to Mrs. Cheuvront, she telephoned to Pierce Owens, Heflin Undertaker, to come for the body and he arrived here about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the remains being removed to the home and prepared for burial. An inquest over the body was held in the afternoon by Coroner Slate and a verdict of self destruction was returned. Mr. Cheuvront had made his home in Heflin for many years, leaving there about the middle of March to take up residence here. He had been engaged for many years in handling real estate and timber in Cleburne county and had recently contracted with several fire insurance companies to begin this line of business in Tallapoosa, and had engaged desk space in the office of the Tallapoosa Journal, but had not opened his campaign for new business.
