Charles was 10 years old when he died. He was the son of W.H. Day and Lena Hall.
The Pomeroy Telegraph says: Chas. Day, aged about 11 years, son of widow Day, who lives near Tupper's Plains, on Tuesday of last week, raised the hammer
of a rifle with his foot and blew into the muzzle to see if it was loaded.
His foot slipped and the gun was discharged, with the usual result. The ball
passed through his tongue and out the back of his head, killing him instantly.
