The Havre Plaindealer (MT), 10 March 1906
Charles Corey Freed of Life's Troubles
Charles Corey, who has resided in Havre for the past six years, whose acquaintance was extensive throughout the county tributary to this city, answered the final summons Tuesday afternoon at one o'clock, and when he passed beyond the vale of tears Havre lost a valued citizen, a family parted from a tender husband and loving father.
Charles Corey was born in Conneautville, Pennsylvania, in 1853, and when a young man learned the trade of a harness maker. In 1874 he was married to Miss Marian E. Walrath of the same city, and resided there until six years ago when the inducements of the west brought him to Havre. For Montana he conceived a great fondness. He liked her picturesque mountains and enjoyed the freedom given by her limitless plains. No longing came into his heart to return to the busy scenes of his boyhood and young manhood, for his was a nature that found its best expression "far from the maddening crowd's ignoble strife." He loved nature and dwelt ever in touch with her soothing influence. This passion for the country caused him to take up a homestead near Havre and here some of his happiest hours in Montana were spent. It was in the improvement of this land, that held for him all the hallowed word "home" holds for most domestic of men. Mr. Corey contracted a severe cold about the first of January that later resulted in grippe, then into a relapse from which he did not recover.
Mr. Corey was for four years treasurer of the Trades and Labor assembly of Havre and was closely affiliated with the working men and his voice, that has been stilled forever, was one always lifted for the right as God gave him to see the right and his counsel was deeply valued because of his integrity, sincerity and clearness of vision.
After coming to Havre Mr. Cory opened a harness shop and did a very good business. Later he sold his establishment to the Havre Commercial company and went into their store taking charge of this department and conducting it with great success.
When his illness became serious a telegram was sent to his children, Mrs. Jefferson Hood of Spokane, and Jay Corey of Lewistown. Both children reached home in time to receive the benediction of their father who was conscious until death released him. In addition to his wife and two children, two brothers in the east survive him.
The funeral services were conducted from the family residence Thursday afternoon at three o'clock. A great number of friends of Mr. Corey followed the remains to their last resting place in the cemetery
