December 8, 1911 "The shocking news was received
here last Friday that Charles L. Dickerson had committed
suicide at his home in Denver by shooting himself that
morning while the family was eating breakfast. Insomnia
and melancholia were given as the cause for his rash act.
He had been under the doctor's care for some time and the family
had been advised that Mr. Dickersion might try to end his life.
It was thought by some that financial troubles might have been the
cause of the act, but this is absolutely denied by those intimate
with his private life. Charles Dickerson was well known in
Douglas county and this part of the state for the past quarter
century, having lived at Elbert until a few years ago when he went
to Denver and, together with his son, opened the law office
of Dickerson & Dickerson. He was an able attorney and had
acquired a large practice. For the past four years he has been
County Attorney for Douglas county and has had other interests
here which often brought him in contact with people in this
community. His cheerful and jovial manner acquired for him a
large circle of friends who are exceedingly sorry to learn of
his untimely demise.
Funeral services were held at the home in Denver on Sunday afternoon,
at which time a large number of friends and relatives gathered to pay
their last sad respects to the departed one."
