Died In Hospital
While not entirely unexpected, the community was shocked last night to learn of the death of Charles Kinder, well known local man who passed away at 10 o'clock in the Memorial Hospital, Monongahela City, after a short illness. Early this year he was forced to relinquish his duties as storekeeper at the National plant of the American Sheet & Tin Plate mill here, suffering from an abscess of the ear. After a two weeks siege, during which he suffered great pain, he seemingly secured relief and was about for a day when he was seized with an attack and rushed to the McKeesport hospital, where after a few days he was discharged and again returned to this city but following another attack he was taken to the St. Francis hospital, in Pittsburg, only to return later and Saturday night, he was rushed to the memorial hospital at Monongahela City, where he passed away last night. Physicians were unable to give him any relief and it was believed that poison from the abscess had saturated his system finally causing his death.
The deceased was 56 years of age and one of the pioneers of this city, as well as an honored employee of the Tin Mill, he recently having been awarded a medal for 25 years of honest and faithful service with the company. Fraternally he was active in the local lodge of Elks and was beloved by his brother lodgemen and a large circle of friends throughout the city. He was also a veteran of the Spanish-American War.
Besides his wife and four children at Eureka, O., he is survived by three sisters, Mrs. Cina Fletcher of Eureka, O., Mrs. Helen Kuhn of Eureka, O., and Mrs. Bell Smith of Akron, O.
The body was brought to the Wright morgue here last night and prepared for burial. The remains will be taken to Finleyville this evening and placed aboard the B. & O. train leaving there at 6:59 tonight for Eureka, O., where funeral services will be held and the body interred in the family plot.
