VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR
(Co. C. 65th Ohio Inf.)~It is with our sad duty this week to chronicle the death of an old and respected citizen of Beaver and one who will be greatly missed by the people not only of Beaver but of the county for he was one the leading factors in any move for betterment of the town and county in which he lived and was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
Charles O. TANNEHILL, the subject of this sketch, was taken with a sudden attack of apoplexy Monday morning of last week while on the road to breakfast at the residence of Will QUINN, on the West Side. Assistance was procured at once and he recovered from the attack and was able to come down town in the afternoon. However, his condition did not improve rapidly and he was still under the care of the physician. Although the deceased protested that his case was not serious, it was thought best that he have company at night and accordingly M. Q. McCLELLAND roomed with him. On the day of the death, Mr. McCLELLAND went out in the country and was unable to return on account of the threatening storm. Supposing that he was with him as usual no other person was procured and on this night, when the deceased was all alone, the Grim Reaper came and claimed Judge C. O. TANNEHILL for his own. Of course since there was no one present at time of death, the facts in the case can only be conjectural, but it is the opinion of the examining physician that death came suddenly and without a struggle.
C. O. TANNEHILL was born in Mansfield, Ohio, on May 26, 1830, died at Beaver, Oklahoma, on May 24, 1905, and was buried in the cemetery here on his seventy-fourth birthday - May 26, 1905. He grew to manhood at the place of his birth. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the Federal army and served as Chaplain of a Company in the 64th Ohio regiment. He continued in the service until the close of the war. He was married in the state of Ohio and leaves a son to mourn his loss. His wife preceded him to the better world many years ago. Joined the Masonic lodge many years ago, in the state of Ohio, was also a member of the G. A. R., and Modern Woodmen, Came to Beaver County in September, 1886. Was elected to the office of Probate Judge in 1898 and served two terms. Has since made his home in Beaver.
As a man, he was true to his convictions and was upright and honest in all his dealings. No one was ever heard to complain of any short-comings on his part and in everything he was more than ready to meet the matter in a business-like way. He enjoyed the full confidence of those with whom he had dealings of any kind and his name in any connection was enough to insure the reliability of the same. As a public servant, he filled the office of Probate Judge during the four years of his encumbrance in that office with the best of satisfaction to his constituents. This was out brought about by the careful manner in which he considered all matters coming up before him. In all his judgments, right and the strict observance of the law had right-of-way.
The news of the death of this man will be read with regret by all who knew him and his friends were of greatest admiration for the departed. No one has other than words of greatest admiration for the departed. Aside from his other admirable traits of character, it is enough to know that he was a loyal supporter of Old Glory in its time of peril and served his country faithfully during the bloody struggle of '61 - '65. His memory will always be reversed by the Old Soldiers and the prominent place that he always filled in their ranks will be filled with sadness on account of his absence.
The burial services were conducted by the Masons, G. A. M., and Modern Woodmen, the Masons having charge. Though the day was miserable on account of a drizzling rain, a large concourse of people attended the funeral to pay their last respects to the man who in life enjoyed the good-will of all. Interment was made in the Beaver cemetery.
The Herald but speaks for the community and all who knew the deceased in extending heart felt sympathy to the sorrowing ones, who are left to mourn the sudden departure of a dear one.
