DEATH OF P. V. CASTLE
Funeral Services HeJd Monday for Citizen Who Was Active in Improving Best Interests of Austin
Percy V. Castle, a well-known and respected citizen of Austin, and well known in Oak Park affairs, died at his home at 5849 Midway Park on Thursday evening of last week, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery, at Barrington, on Monday afternoon.
Funeral services, which were held at the First Presbyterian Church, Waller and Fulton, were conducted by Dr. Robert Clements and largely attended by old neighbors and friends, relatives and by many well-known business and professional men from various parts of the city, with whom Mr. Castle came in contact in his professional and social life.
The words spoken by these many friends and associates, whether by a neighbor and business associate or an adversary in his professional work, were of the same tenor; that he was always kind, just, upright and truthful in deeds as well as in words, and was unusually exact in all his conduct.
The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The donors seemed to have taken unusual care in offering something appropriate and expressive of their high regard for his splendid life and memory.
Mr. Castle was born in Cook County and came to Austin in the year 1884. While he has, for more than thirty-live years, maintained an office in the loop district, he has continuously lived in Austin. During all this time he has been identified with some of the best local interests.
He was one of the Castle brothers who in 1891 organized the Austin State Bank, and he was a director of and attorney for the bank from the date of its organization until his death.
Mr. Castle was a member of the school board of Austin for several years prior to the annexation of Austin to Chicago.
Mr. Castle attended the Northern Indiana Normal School at Valparaiso, from which he graduated with honors. Following his graduation he was principal of the Arlington Heights schools, and attended Union College of Law, Chicago.
Upon admission to the bar he went into partnership with the late William J. Manning. About 1890 he went into partnership with Charles S. Cutting, then residing at Palatine, and Charles H. Austin of Barrington.
Upon Mr. Austin's death the firm became Cutting Castle & Williams, and so continued until 1900, when Mr. Cutting was elected probate judge of Cook County. Ben M. Smith, who then entered the firm, was elected judge of the Superior Court in 1905, since which time the firm name has been Castle Williams, Long & Castle, the members of which, at his death, besides himself, the senior partner, were Arista B. Williams, Jesse R. Long, Howard P. Castle, Franz W. Castle, Hargrave A. Long and Emmett J. McCarthy.
During the war Mr. Castle was chairman of the selective service board in the Austin district, and it is believed that the very exacting duties of this office had much to do with the heart attack he suffered in the late summer of 1921, followed at intervals by others of a similar nature, which finally brought about his death. He served as president of Westward Ho Club for several years.
