"Died, at his home in Centralia, on Wednesday, January 30, 1907, of a complication of diseases, C. H. Acuff, aged 67 years.
Columbus Harrison Acuff was born in the state of Kentucky on June 23, 1840. At an early age he came to Missouri, where he resided ever since. In 1859 he was married to Miss Ada A. Rogers, and to them seven children were born, three of whom are still living: Mrs. J. K. Jones of this city, Jas. M. Acuff of Vandalia and Wm. C. Acuff of this place. His wife died about four years ago.
Mr. Acuff joined the Christian Church at the age of 20 years and was a member here at the time of his death. He was also a member of the Masonic lodge of this place.
The funeral services were conducted at the Christian church at 2:30 p.m. Thursday, January 31, by Elder W. W. Boatman, after which the remains were taken charge by the Masonic lodge and interred in the city cemetery with the beautiful burial service of that order.
C. H. Acuff was a man of rare worth and was best understood by his friends and those who knew him best. He believed in right and his life was a constant struggle for right. His honesty and integrity could not be questioned. His love of wife and home were ennobling and his cheerfulness worthy of emulation. He will be missed by his host of friends."
