Civil War - Sgt. Co. D. 1st Ohio Infantry
~~~~~~
From The Central City Nonpareil, Thursday, February 18, 1909, page 10, transcribed by Linda Berney:
Palmer was called upon to mourn the death of one of her most highly respected citizens this week when Charles Wherrett passed to his final reward. Mr. Wherrett has been in ill health for several months and in the hope that a change of climate would be beneficial he left last Thursday for Colorado. He was taken worse enroute, however, and died at Ft. Collins Friday. The family expected to follow him shortly but instead of receiving the summons to join him they received a telegram that he had started on a journey from which he will not return. The remains were brought back to Palmer and the funeral held Tuesday. Rev. F. C. Taylor, pastor of the Episcopal church at Central City, conducted the service.
Charles Wherrett was born in Gloucestershire, England, on February 6, 1839. He came to America in 1853.
At the beginning of the Civil war he enlisted under the three-months all and at the end of that time came home and raised a company which served for three years. During his second service he was crippled for life in a gunpowder explosion.
He was united in marriage April 10, 1865 to Mrs. Harriet Parrot in Illinois. Coming to Merrick county in 1872, Mr. Wherrett had made this his home ever since.
Four children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Wherrett, three of whom are living.
The deceased was loved and respected by all who knew him, being a man of upright character and clean life.

Gage Valley News -
This community was greatly shocked last Sunday to learn of the death of Charley Wherrett in Wyoming, where he had gone in hopes to improve his health. He was one of the pioneers of this country, having settled on a homestead one mile south of Palmer in the fall of 1873. Mr. Wherrett was a veteran of the civil war and was highly respected by all who knew him.
