A TRAGIC DEATH
The citizens of Chariton were painfully shocked last Friday afternoon when it was learned that relatives in Chariton had received a message announcing that C. E. Penick had been lost overboard on a steamer at Racine, Wisconsin that morning, while on his way to Milwaukee, to purchase mantles and other fixtures for his new house now in process of erection.
The body was found at 6:15 Tuesday evening. The remains will arrive in Chariton this morning at 10:05 o'clock on board No. 3 and will be taken to the home of his father, W. C. Penick, on Woodlawn avenue, where brief funeral services will be held, conducted by Revs. W. B. Thompson and W. V. Whitten, under the auspices of the orders to which deceased belonged, after which interment will be made in the Chariton cemetery.
Charles Edwin Penick, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Penick, was born in Chariton on May 19, 1865, and has resided here all his life. On May 6, 1894, he was united in marriage in this city to Miss Lizzie Yengel, who survives him. To them were born three children, two of whom, Dorothy and Calvin, are living.
He has long been associated with his father in the Chariton Bank of Manning & Penick as cashier, and has also been engaged in stock buying and shipping. He has served the city as councilman and at the time of his death was a member of the board of education. He has performed the duties of these public offices of trust in a way that reflected credit upon him, and by his death the community loses an honorable and useful citizen.
The peculiar sadness of his tragic and sudden death casts its shadow of sorrow into every home. It hardly seems possible that genial, warm hearted Ed Penick has gone from among us. No one can explain why he was taken away in such a manner, in the prime of his manhood, yet He who doeth all things well makes no mistakes. We are once more brought face to face to a realization that life is uncertain and death must, sooner or later, come to all.
Ed Penick was a man who lived in the confidence and respect of the entire community. Every duty was well done, and to every undertaking he gave his best efforts. His life was one full of helpfulness, kindliness, sympathy and encouragement. If he had an ememy no one knows it. His amiable disposition, his kind and generous nature, his cordial an pleasant manner made for him friends of all with whom he came in contact.
He was an honored member of the Masonic, Knights Templar and Knights of Pythias orders. The home life of the deceased was exemplary and happy, and the parents, wife and other relatives are almost prostrate with grief. The cruel death, beyond the power of human forces to foresee or prevent, robbed an excellent family of a devoted father and husband, and removed from life a man whose name was a synonym of honor and integrity.
In addition to the parents, wife, and children, there remain three brothers and a sister, W. B. Penick of Tingley, J. A. and H. O. Penick and Mrs. F. Q. Stuart of this city. May the kind Father in His infinite wisdom comfort and sustain those so sorely bereft.
