Rev. Charles W. Ablett, 49, passed away at Barnes Hospital in St. Louis. He attended Metropolis schools but took a position with the Postal Services before graduating. He completed his education and graduated in May 1931, after which he became ordained to the ministry. He married Miss Alma Smith in 1922 and to them was born one son, Charles B. Ablett. Charles W. was appointed substitute letter carrier for the Metropolis Post Office in 1929, a position he held until February of this year.
On August 5, 1931 the First Baptist Church of Metropolis, by resolution, asked that he be ordained to the full gospel ministry. By an unanimous vote of a council composed of 27 ordained ministers and deacons, Ablett was set apart to the full gospel ministry. His first pastorate was his home church - Seven Mile. He later accepted a call to New Hope Church and for a time divided his services between the two. He accepted a call for full time pastorate at Brookport, a position he held into 1945. At the time of his death due to illness he was again serving New Hope Church full time.
He is survived by his widow, son, grand-children and a half-brother. Services were held on June 4th at the First Baptist Church in Metropolis with burial in the Masonic Cemetery.
