"The funeral of Charles S. Northen, secretary of the state senate and one of the best known and beloved public men in Georgia, who died early Sunday morning, will be held from the North Avenue Presbyterian church this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock . . .

Mr. Northen's long connection with the Georgia senate had thrown him in constant contact with the leading men of the state, in whose esteem he had always held a high place both as a man and a friend. These men will find his death a source of extreme regret and sorrow . . .

Mr. Northen had been the secretary of the state senate for a score of years, and in all his service had been most cordial and faithful.

Besides being a figure of state-wide prominence in public life he had for forty-three years of his residence in Atlanta been an intimate factor in the city's civic and business life.

He served as a member of city council for many years and was a member of the board of trustees of Grady hospital. He was also a member of the Gate City Guard and a member of the volunteer fire department in the younger days of the city.

As general agent for the Phoenix Mutual Life Insurance company he was one of the best known insurance men in the south.

He was also a prominent member of the Masons.

Mr. Northen was the nephew of the late Governor Northen. He married a daughter of Dr. J. G. Earnest. He is survived by his wife, his daughter, Miss Margaret; his son Charles Jr.; his mother and one brother, Ed Northen."
