Old Settler Passes On
Charles Edwin the third child of Daniel and Mary Huston was born near Wyoming, Nebraska on January 18, 1864 and died at his home on September 16, 1934 at the age of 70 years 8 months 28 days He was married to Mary Louise Bailey on June 30, 1889 and to this marriage were born five children. Two sons, Harry of Tecumseh, Nebraska and Earle of Eureka, Kansas and one daughter Mrs. Verda Baird also of Eureka survive him. Two daughters died in early childhood. Besides these children he leaves his wife, also one sister, Mrs. Nellie Austin of Nebraska City and five grandchildren, Hazel Ruth, Betty Lu, Harry Edwin Huston, Phyllis Jean and Leila Mae Baird.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, the Masonic lodge and Order of the Eastern Star. He was also a member of the Lafayette cemetery Board. Up until five years ago he was very active in all lines of civic work but at that time his health failed and he was not able to carry on the work to which he had always been so faithful. He farmed for 27 years and was in business in Cook Nebr. for 3 years, also in the mercantile business in Brock for several years. In his passing the community loses an honorable, upright citizen and the family a kind, loving husband and father.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church Tuesday morning at 10:00 o'clock conducted by Rev. Callay, followed by the Masonic funeral rites at the grave.
The song service was by the Methodist quartet. The pall bearers were Ora Smedley, Sylvan Asa, Frank Quante, E. N. Butterfield, August Gauchat, and Hansen Aldrich.
The beautiful floral offerings paid tribute to the esteem in which he was held.
Burial was the Lafayette cemetery.
