CHARLES E. HEBERHART
This world is a strange mixture of people and people are strange mixtures, too. In Charles Heberhart, whose untimely passing Thursday morning saddened many friends in Madison and other cities where he had lived, there was a striking example of this.
Mr. Heberhart, was in many ways a sentimentalist in that he had in mind and heart the sufferings of those who have been unable to find themselves and he was ever willing to give ear to them and take moments precious to him to give them aid and comfort.
And yet he was a good newspaper man, a good managing editor and executive who must decide quickly and without sentiment what was and without sentiment what was and what was not to be printed.
From boyhood events seemed to shape the optimistic and dreamy side of life. He clerked in the Dean peach orchards when they were in their prime. He had that delightful experience which every boy of the 1890's craved and was a "mud" clerk on the Ohio river packets. That may be strange language to those who never see a boat land at Madison but in the "good old" days the young clerk who went out on the bank at way landings with a jaunty cap upon his head and a pencil stuck behind his ear to check the shipment of the farmer was considered near an Olympian by the rising generation.
He served a short "turn" as a volunteer infantry private because he had a sentiment for the oppressed in the Spanish island to the south and was outraged by the sinking of the Maine. He came in contact with life in several mercantile adventures before taking up newspaper work which was colored to an extent by his experience at one of the greatest school disasters this country has known.
As a reported and managing editor he saw the seamy side of life in many phases and his mind, developed by a thorough reading of the classics, was quick to glimpse the underlying causes of what might be called crime or in softer words "delinquency".
During many busy years, he was a good family man as the elders used to say, he was a crusader, a prober into the past and ever hopeful of the future.
