Obituary
Charles L. Nesmith died at the Proctor Home, Peoria, Sunday morning, May 17, at 7 o'clock, aged 90 years. Mr. Nesmith had been in ill health for some time. Funeral services will be held at the Proctor Home chapel at 2 o'clock this Thursday afternoon. Burial in Wood cemetery lot in Glendale cemetery, Washington. Mr. Nesmith was an important business man in Washington over thirty years ago. He ran the first grain weigher factory in this country. The weigher was invented by a brother of Mr. Nesmith, who lived in Nebraska. The factory in Washington was in operation for quite a number of years. The weigher was a big convenience to farmers as it weighed their grain when it came from the threshing machine. Mr. Nesmith made a good deal of money in making the weighers and selling the right to make it in other states and counties. He used to trade these rights for lands and other property and at one time owned property in many states. In time a more modern weigher was made in Peoria by the Hart Grain Weigher Co. and Mr. Nesmith transferred his business to them and was employed with the Hart Co. for a number of years. Eleven years ago he entered the Proctor Home where he had since lived. Mr. Nesmith was born in Woodford county Oct. 4, 1851. He married Maria Wood, a daughter of Dr. E.F. Wood, an early settler in Washington. They had one son Edwin who died a number of years ago, as well as his mother.
