Charles Collicutt - It is with feelings of deepest regret that we make mention in this issue of the paper of the passing from our midst of one of the noblest men of the community. When Charles Collicutt was summoned to his eternal rest, a good and true light ceased shining on earth. Mr. Collicutt has been in failing health for nearly a year yet no particular uneasiness about his condition was felt until about six weeks ago when matters took a decided turn for the worst and as a last resort he was taken to Augustan hospital, Chicago, where the best medical skill in the last was called to his assistance, but to no avail, his immortal spirit was called into the presence of its Maker early Friday morning, June 6, 1919.
Mr. Charles Collicutt was born at Mifflin, Wis., December 18, 1858, being the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Collicutt, pioneer settlers in the county. When Charles was seven years of age he moved with his parents to the Willow Springs neighborhood and here with the exception of one year spent in this city and a short time at his last residence, he lived his life of usefulness and integrity, esteemed and honored by all who knew him.
On January 22, 1885, Mr. Collicutt was united in marriage with Miss Minnie Van Matre. Five sons blessed this union, two of whom preceded his father over the river. Three sons, Harry, Homer and Earl are left with the wife and mother to mourn the closing of this princely life; also two little grand daughters. Mr. Collicutt's departure marks the passing of the last member of the old Collicutt family.
Funeral services were held from his late home, one mile east of this city on services afternoon, Rev. A. A. Schoenfelld of the First Congregational Church officiating. Comfort and consolation in Christian song was brought by the Willow Springs choir, assisted y members of the Firsts Congregational choir. Burial was made in the Willow Springs cemetery. The usually large attendance at the funeral of friends and neighbors and business acquaintances from near and far was a beautiful tribute of affection and esteem to the life and character of Charles Collicutt.
