Charles S. (Monk) Eiehelberger, 70, died in his sleep at 4 o'clock Sunday morning at his home.
Burial Monday afternoon, in Oakwood Cemetery. Surviving are his widow and one brother, G. W. (Hugh) Eichelberger.
Hugh Eichelberger is now the last of five sons of the late C. S. (Uncle Charley) Eichelberger, the bearded giant pioneer who made his home at Eichelberger's Island above Lake Waco on the Bosque, where all the sons were born.
Elections in North Waco wards, meetings of the County Democratic Executive Committee, and barbecues, won't be the same without "Monk" Eichelberger. He had been a member of the executive committee far more than a quarter of a century, was on duty at every election, city, party, or national, in his ward, the old Eighth, which voted first at the Bosque Boulevard fire station and later at Brook Avenue School.
He was famous for his skill at barbecueigg. He operated a barbecue stand of his own downtown, but was best known along that line for the feasts he prepared for large picnics and other gatherings, many of them at Eichelberger's Island, which was a famous place for such events.
Mr. Eichelberger was employed by the Cameron Lumber Co, later was in the real estate business. He then retired from active business and looked after his own property, where he had his home an apartment house, an orchard, and a garden.
Mr. Eicheloerger was a Mason.
