Death of Charles Albert
Charles Albert, who has resided in Brookville for quite a number of years, died at his home in Longview last Friday. He had been ill for several weeks, confined to his home, but his family did not think him to be in such imminent danger. His ailment, we believe, was kidney or bladder trouble. He was not confined to his bed, and at the time of his death was sitting his chair. Benj. Case had called to see him, and for half an hour or more had conversed with him on different topics. Just after the close of this conversation he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and was dead.
He was about 67 years of age. For many years he was an engineer on the Low Grade railroad, but for some time back, two or three years, or more, he was given employment about the Brookville station as "hostler," etc. He leaves a wife and three children - one son and two daughters - children all grown up. For many years he had been a member of the M.E. church.
His funeral was on Sunday afternoon. After religous services at the home, conducted by Dr. W. P. Graham, his pastor, assisted by Rev. Mr. Garner, the body was taken to the Brookville cemetery for interment. He was an Odd Fellow, and his pall-bearers were six member of Brookville Lodge. He has also been a soldier in the civil war, and a detail from the Sons of Veterans escorted the remains to the grave, rendering their funeral services there.
