Occupation Bet. 18 Mar 1862–16 Aug 1865 Soldier in Green, Brown Ohio, B & E Company, 11 Ohio Volunteer Cavalry in Idaho Territory, Private, Union Allegiance *********************** The News-Courant, 23 Nov 1882, Thursday Mr. M. W. Channel, a farmer living near Crawfordsville, while out hunting, yesterday morning, shot himself, it is supposed, accidentally. When found, about 9 o'clock in the morning, his clothing was on fire, and nearly half burned off. He was a highly respected citizen, and was, at one time, Trustee of Cottonwood township. He leaves a large family to mourn his untimely death. ********************* The Strong City Independent, 24 Nov 1882, Friday Mr. M. W. Channell (sic), a well and favorably known citizen of the west end of this county, while out gunning Wednesday shot himself accidentally. As no one was with him, and he was dead when found, the monner (sic) of the accident is not known. *********************** The Chase County Leader, 30 Nov 1882, Thursday DEATH OF MR. M. W. CHANNELL (sic). Last week we published the death of M. W. Channell (sic), but at the time we could learn none of the particulars. On the morning of the 22d, just before breakfast, the barking of a dog in the cornfield attracted the attention of the family and Mr. Channel took his gun (a double-barrel shot gun,) and went out to ascertain the cause. Shortly after, the report of a gun was heard by the family, followed in a few minutes by another shot. Breakfast was eaten and although the father's absence was wondered at, no anxiety was felt by the family until the children were preparing for school, when one of the children, a girl, suddenly commenced crying and expressed the belief that some accident had befallen her father. To pacify the child, the oldest boy went in search of the father, carrying an ax with him. Going into the cornfield he found the dog, who had a coon at bay. The coon was soon dispatched and the boy started to continue the search for his father. Attracted by a smoke, he went to another part of the field, where he found the body of his father, the clothing on which was burned off and the flesh literally baked. An examination of the body showed that a charge of shot had entered the lower part of the abdomen, and, passing upward, passed through the heart. The gun was also found, the stock of which bore scratches evidently made by the coon. It is supposed that when Mr. Channel found the dog, whose barking had attracted his attention, it was engaged with the coon; that Channel fired one shot at the coon but was afraid to fire another for fear of hitting the dog; that, to assist the dog, he attempted to use the butt of the gun on the coon and while doing so the gun was discharged.
