Suicide
[Buffalo Gazette, June 8, 1844]
We regret to learn Capt. Pickering of the schr. Columbia, committed suicide by cutting his throat in No. 8 lock of the Welland Canal on Sunday last. No cause is assigned for the act other than that he was unable to get his vessel through the lock. He has left a wife and four children. The mate of the Columbia had his leg broken the day previous. Capt. Pickering was extensively known on the lakes, and is reported to have been a man of high moral character, whose death will be sincerely regretted.
