Charles Derry
(The Saints Herald, Volume 68, August 1921)
Charles Derry was born in the parish of Bloxwick, Staffordshire, England, July 25, 1826. He died at his home in Woodbine, Iowa, July 16, 1921. He came to America with his family in 1854, where he united with the Reorganized Church on March 3, 1861. This same day he was ordained an elder; August 3, 1861, a seventy; April 8, 1965, an apostle, serving in this office for five years; president of the High Priests' Quorum from 1874-1901; a High Councilor from 1890-1903; an evangelical minister, June 8, 1902, which office he held up to the time of his death. December 6, 1862, he was sent to England as a missionary and was abroad two years. He leaves to mourn: one son, George, of Logan, Iowa; two daughters, Pearl Van Eaton of Pisgah, and Alice Askwith, who has made her home with him for a number of years and faithfully cared for him throughout his declining days; seven grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren survive. A loyal, true servant has gone to a well earned rest, and his rewards are sure. The funeral was in charge of Fred A. Fry; sermon by one of his colaborers, Charles E. Butterworth of Dow City. Interment was at Woodbine Cemetery.
