You're welcome.

Not seeing a death for David Sr. 

And only a possible for Alfred Charles Emery in 1899 in Boston, Mass. Age 31, b. England,
brakeman (railway), parents William and Louisa Colegreen, found drowned  . He is single,
which could be a error or he was by 1899. In the 1891 census, Alfred, locomotive driver is with his widowed mother Louisa and brother William, which is one page over from Richard and Harriet Wills.
Neighbours. In a 1895 directory he is listed as working for GTR (Grand Trunk Railway) which
operated in Quebec and Ontario and also through Maine, Massachusetts.
1899 death for Alfred.

About 6.80 yesterday morning & suit of clothes was found on the Warren av bridge, Charlestown, by John Gallagher, superintendent of the bath at the bridge. In the pockets of the suit were found letters addressed to A. C. Emery, 28 Frothlngham av, Charlestown, and signed, "From your loving mother," 46 Adeline st, Montreal, Can. The letters contained a mothers fondest love to her son. The house at 28 Frothlngham av is a boarding house, run by Mrs Mortell, who stated that Mr Emery was one of her boarders, but he left the house last Wednesday and has not been seen since. When he left the house he said he was going down to the beach, Mr Emery has been employed by the Boston & Maine railroad as a brakeman, but has been out of work for some time.

NORTH END DISTRICT.
 Patrolmen from the harbor police station were called this morning to pier 5, Hoosac Tunnel docks, to take charge of the body of a man found there by one of the crew of the Dominion liner Bay State. The body was that of a man about 35 years of age, 5 feet 7 inches in hlght and weighing 135 pounds. The body was naked, but as the measurements and light complexion and sandy hair and mustache correspond to those of A. C. Emery of Frothingham st, Charlestown, whose clothing was found at the entrance to the Warren bridge bathhouse several days ago, it Is thought that the body Is his. It was taken to the North Grove st morgue to await Identification.

How sad 

In the 1899-1900 Montreal Directories there is a Wm. Emery (brother) at 46 Adeline St.

How odd not to have a mention of a wife He and Fanny had split up was this one reason for his suicide/ Such a sad event. How I feel for poor little David Pywell he lost his father and step father at a very young age then taken to a strange land and introduced to yet another step father...well at least he may have known Richard Wills he seems to have been a close family member through out his life.
I wonder if Richard WILLS was part of the problem between Fanny and Alfred Charles ! Fanny married RIichard in 1897. Is there any where I can look for a divorce for Alfred and Fanny would it be in the newspapers or was n't divorce notable in the 1890s  Its such a sad story.
