I found what I was looking for on Newspapers.com right away. Charles Henry Ault jr, the husband of my grandfather's half-sister, is said in biographies of his brother, the painter George Copeland Ault (and on George's Wikipedia page), to have committed suicide, but I had never found a newspaper report of this to confirm it. At last I have found some reports of his death - he had a heart attack while driving his car, and his sister was a passenger in the car at the time. She survived to tell the tale.
Don't know whether Charles is haunting anybody to tell them to stop lying about him!
