Charles Henry Haffelt was born in Clay Twp. August 19, 1865, the son of Barbara Ann Houck Haffelt and George Adams Haffelt. He was reared in the community in which he was born and was a farmer by occupation.
On November 27, 1895, he and Roena Patterson were married by the Rev. Hugh Plymale. To the union five children were born: Anna, Mrs. Clifford Earwood, Gallipolis; Elmer, Lower River Road, Gallipolis; Clara, Mrs. Oliver Unroe of Pomeroy, and Clay Sexton at Mound Hill Cemetery, another son, Charles Albert died in infancy.
Mr. Haffelt was a charter member of the Knights of the Golden Eagles and Junior Order of Mechanics of Yellowtown, but both chapters are no longer active. He was a good farmer, loved the outdoors, hunted and fished. He showed great talent in wood carving, and after he was unable to work spent much of his leisure time "whittling" and talking with his friends. He never lacked words or a subject on which to converse with his friends and acquaintences. He did not belong to a church, but those who knew him, felt that a man could not love God's World, and the people in it and the many works of God as Mr. Haffelt did and not believe and love God, also.
The first Mrs. Haffelt died January 8, 1930, he later married Frances Rinehart Graham and she passed away im March 1939. Since the death of the second Mrs. Haffelt he had lived at the home of his daughter, Anna, and his health had not been good. For the past four years he had been bedfast and each day he became more weakened, and on Saturday, July 30, 1949 at 2:15 PM passed away at the age of 84.
The four children named above survive him also four grandchildren: George Amyl Haffelt, Lower River Road, Donna June Unroe of Pomeroy and Marilee and Gerald Haffelt of Gallipolis. He was one of four children and of that four only one brother John William Haffelt of Mercerville survives. He will be missed by his children and grandchildren and friends, but he lived a long and happy, useful life, and his family can feel comforted that his suffering is over.
"Slowly, slowly, dark'ning, The evening hours roll on;
And soon behind the cloudland Will sink my setting sun.
To him I yield my spirit On him I lay my load;
Fear ends with death; beyond it I nothing see but God.
Thus moving towards the darkness I calmly wait his call.
Now sleeping, fearing nothing; But hoping, trusting all!"
Card of Thanks
