SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES
Charles Wilson, who was injured on February 28, by a fall from a scaffold, and mention of which was made in this paper last week, died at Arkansas City, Kansas, last Saturday morning at 9:30. He was thought to be improving until last Friday and his death came as a great shock to his relatives and friends.
The remains were brought to Chariton Sunday, accompanied by his mother and brother, Riley, of this city, who were at his bedside, and his brothers, Frank and Alfred and wife and daughter of Arkansas City.
Funeral services, conducted by Rev. W. S. McCollough, of the First Presbyterian church, were held at the family home on north Grand street on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and were under the auspices of the M.W.A. of which he was a worthy member. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful, testifying to the high regard in which deceased was held.
Charles Andrew Wilson was born in Fulton county, Ill., on December 20, 1868. He came here with his parents in 1877 and worked on the railroad until 1889. He then accepted a position with Walter Mooney in his butter and egg house and in 1893 went to Chicago with him. The following year he resigned that position and returned to his former employment, railroading, going to Green River, Wyoming.
In 1895 he engaged in the butter and egg business at Coffeyville, Kans., where he remained until 1903 when he went to Winfield, Kans., where he was employed by the C. T. Wells Produce Company. The first of this year he went to Arkansas City to assist in opening up a new business there for the company.
He was a young man of strict integrity and the many excellent qualities of his character account for the high regard in which he was held. He was genial, sympathetic and warm hearted, and every duty was well done.
He is survived by his mother and by a sister, of this city, and five brothers, Alfred and Frank, of Arkansas City, Kans., and John, Riley and James, of Chariton. These bereaved ones have the deep sympathy of the entire community.
