April 28 1906Thursday morning Mr. John C. Mott was found missing from his home on Freeborn street in Portsmouth and a search was at once made for him. In the afternoon the family were notified that his body was found in Barkers Brook, near his home. Mr. Mott made his home with his son on Freeborn street and had not been well for some time. At times he showed signs of despondency and it was probably while suffering from one of these attacks that he ended his life in such a manner.
The deceased was a son of the late Jacob Mott and two sons survive him; Alfred and William Mott; also a brother Edward A. Mott of Fall River.
