| 1848 | Evening Mercury Tuesday June 5 1888 Sunday (June 3) John Churchill of Random, T.B. left schooner "Sunflower" to walk along the shore and has not been heard from since. The Daily Colonist, June 22, 1888 A MAN FOUND DROWNED. SUICIDE FROM TEMPORARY INSANITY. Body Picked up by Anglers. Some trouters, whilst fishing near Cochrane Pond yesterday, came upon the dead body of a man. On arriving in town they lodged information at the police court, and a posse of officers were Immediately dispatched to the spot. The body was found and brought to the morgue in the city this morning. The face was all but decomposed, and, it was considered, would not be recognized by any friends of the deceased. However, from information at the time of the disappearance of a man named John Churchill, some time since, the police officers felt sure he was the man. Two men who had known Churchill were called in and identified the body. Churchill, was a native of Portugal Cove, but went with wife and family to Random Sound, Trinity Bay, about ten years ago. He came here this spring, in the schooner " Sunflower," Captain Randall, for summer supplies. On the 3rd of the present month, he strayed from the schooner, and had not since been heard from. It was supposed that the man was suffering from temporary insanity at the time. He is fifty-four years old, and leaves a wife and family in Random. Evening Mercury June 22 1888 Body of John Churchill belonging to Random, T.B. found in small gully between Ruby's and Cochrane Pond by John Bussey, Benjamin Keeping (Keating) and Joseph Snow, while trouting. Churchill formerly lived at Portugal Cove leaves wife and family. Evening Telegram, June 22, 1888 FOUND DROWNED. Body of a Man Picked up at Cochrane Pond. REMAINS READILY IDENTIFIED. Amongst the numerous parties of anglers who went to the distant lakes yesterday were Joseph Snow, a stable-keeper of the Sanitary Department; John Bussey, porter with Mr. G. S. Milligan, and Benjamin Keeping, of the Assembly staff of assistants; and fate directed their steps in a direction which led to their excursion having an important result. In the course of it they came upon the remains of a lost man floating in a gully where they were trouting. Cochrane Pond was their objective point; they reached it at 4.30 o'clock yesterday morning, and, having filled their baskets, employed the afternoon in a search for a "black" species of trout. To obtain them they left the lake mentioned and walked across a dry "reef" to a creek or gully. Their way took them over "Dixie's line" a cutting through the primitive wilderness, which joins the Old Placentia Road. When they cast their lines in this particular gully they perceived an object a little distance from the bank, which one of them supposed to be a dead horse, and another a rock. Moved by curiosity to identify it closely, Snow cast his hook out to it and drew it to the shore. Then they discovered that it was the body of a human being. The head, the hair and the arms were visible; but they didn't lift the remains ashore fearing that they could not do so and keep them intact. The pool was a still one, and was so formed that there was little possibility of the body drifting out of it. They accordingly left it in the position described, the hour being about 4.30 p.m., and soon after left for town, where they arrived at 10.15 p.m. They lodged information at the police office and, after midnight, a posse of constables, bearing a box, left for the fatal spot, to which they were guided by Joseph Snow, and at 11 o'clock this morning they returned and deposited the coffined remains in the morgue. In the course of the day the body was identified by two men belonging to Portugal Cove, named Miller and Churchill, as being that of John Churchill, of Random, Trinity Bay, but formerly of Portugal Cove. He left his schooner, the Sunflower, John Peddle, master, lying at Messrs. Tessier's wharf, on the 3rd instant, since which time all trace of him was lost till the present. Evening Telegram June 25, 1888 The body of the late John Churchill, who met so untimely an end near Cochrane Pond, was interred in the Methodist Cemetery, western district of this city, at seven o'clock on Saturday evening. | Churchill, John (I022)
