CHARLES RALPH DIES AT HIS HOME IN URSA
Death is Caused by Senility—Had Lived in This Vicinity for Past 79 Years.
Charles Ralph, a pioneer of Adams county who had lived in this part of the state for the past seventy-nine years, died at his home in Ursa Saturday night at 10 o'clock. Death was caused by senility and although he had been in poor health for some time, he had been confined to his bed for only the past two weeks.
The decedent was born near Laurel, Del., and was eighty-four years old. He came to this country with his parents in 1835 and they located in Melrose township. He spent some time in the gold fields in California but soon returned to this county and began farming near Ursa. He married Miss Emma Weaver soon after his return from the gold fields and to this union three daughters were born, two surviving their father. They are Mrs. Hugh Hunter of Camp Point and Mrs. Arthur Wright of Colorado.
His first wife died about six years ago and he afterwards married Mrs. Mary Fletcher who survives him as do three brothers, Don of Ursa, Roland of Quincy, and another in California.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon with services at 2 o'clock from his home in Ursa and burial was made in New Providence cemetery. The services were attended by a large number of friends and relatives, among them several from Quincy.
