Charles Bartlett, of Derry Village, a well known and most exemplary citizen, passed away at the family homestead Tuesday morning, April 28 at 9:45 o'clock. Only comparatively few of his friends and townspeople knew of his sickness and all were sadly shocked when the announcement of his death was made.
With unfaltering loyalty and never tiring patience and interest, Mr. Bartlett cared for and watched for many weary weeks with his invalid brother, Greenleaf, who passed away but a few months ago. No doubt somewhat weakened by this extra work although most willingly and cheerfully performed he was less able to cope with the dread disease pneumonia which developed so quickly and with fatal results within less than one week. He was about his usual vocations on Tuesday April 21. That night he retired feeling the effects of a cold and was never able to again leave his room. He failed rapidly from the first. Dr Barker was called early and did all possible for his patient but to no avail. Even as a last resort, transfusion of blood was tried, Alan B. Shepard giving his for the purpose but this too failed to afford the benefit so much desired.
Following this operation he brightened up considerably and spoke to those near him but again lapsed into unconsciousness and passed out of life as stated
