Read More	Cedar Rapids Evening Gazette Friday August 8, 1924 No inquest will be held over the body of Charles Olney, who was drowned yesterday in a cistern in the rear of 1434 Third avenue, as it was apparent his death was caused by drowning, Dr. R.A. Vorpahl, coroner, said today. O.C. Olney, president of the Cedar Rapids Candy company and son of Charles Olney said that he believed his father's death was an accident and not suicide. He said he believes his father, who had been raking the rear yard, took the cover off the cistern and as the cover was made of iron and rather heavy for a man 84 years old to lift, he probably lost his balance and fell in the water. The theory that his father committed suicide was scouted by Mr. Olney as he explained that he was never despondent and had nothing to worry about. No one saw the tragedy so it is impossible for the coroner to determine whether the aged man deliberately jumped into the cistern or accidentally fell in. Charles Olney was born in Ohio and came to Marion about forty years ago. He was married at Marion to Miss Margaret Gibson who preceded him in death. He attended the Methodist church and had a wide circle of friends and acquaintances in Cedar Rapids and Marion. Surviving are his two sons, O.C. Olney of this city and Carl Olney of Marion. Funeral services for Charles Olney, who was drowned yesterday, will be held in the Turner chapel at 2 p.m. Saturday. The Rev. Frank K. Ward will officiate. Burial will be made in Oak Shade cemetery Marion.
