After an illness extending over several years, the last two or three of which have incapacitated him from work, death came to relieve the sufferings of C. F. Austin at his home in Richmond. He was buried in Morton Cemetery at the side of his son who died two years ago.
Charles Frances Austin was born in Dublin, Ireland, and had he lived, would have been 62 years of age on May 31. At the age of 14 he came to the United States, landing at New York, and settling in Boston, at which place the family resided for several years. He afterwards emigrated to the West, spending several years in New Mexico, Arizona and West Texas. In 1890 Mr. Austin was married to Miss Mary Alice Robinson of Calvert, who, together with the children survive him. To this union six children were born, five of whom are living. They are: Mrs. Cornelius Thompson of this county, Mrs. E. J. Truxillo of Port Arthur, Miss Alda Austin, Miss Alice Eugene (Boots) Austin and C. F. Austin, Jr. The eldest son, Joe J. Austin, died a couple of years ago.
Mr. Austin came to Fort Bend County about 26 years ago, being in the service of the Southern Pacific Railway for a number of years. He afterwards engaged in business and continued the same successfully until his health broke two or three years ago. He was a member of the fraternal order of Odd Fellows. Since the first part of January the deceased had been confined to his bed and the ravages of the wasting malady from which he suffered had diminished his body to a shadow of the vigorous man he used to be.
C.F. Austin was a man in whom his fellowman placed confidence. He always stood for the right and was kind to the faults of others, charitable to human failties and his death marks the passing of a good citizen, a loving father and husband whose memory will be reverently respected by those who intimately knew him.
