OBITUARY
Charles Omer Druley was born at Boston, Indiana, May 12, 1878 and died September 12, 1907, aged 29 years and 4 months. He united with the First Methodist church at Richmond, Ind., about fourteen years ago, retaining his membership till the end of his life. He was also a member of the Eagles lodge.
For ten years in the earlier part of his life he was connected with the Richmond Item, after which he went to the Music College at Cincinnati; he also later studied music at Earlham College. For four years he has been in failing health, but made a brave effort for his life, traveling in different climates; but finally he came home, where, under a loving mother's watchful eye, he might spend his last days before entering "the home over there." Throughout his long illness, he was patient and cheerful, expressing a desire to die if he could not have good health.
Within the last year he composed several pieces of music, thus showing his intense love for his art. He leaves a loving mother, many relatives and friends to mourn his departure. A short service was held at the home in Richmond, 207 North 9th street, conducted by Rev. Nelson of Grace M. E. church, after which the remains were taken to Boston where the funeral sermon was preached by Rev. Henry Crampton of Eaton, O.
