DEATH OF CHAs. A. WIEDERHOLD.

II is with much regret that We have
to-day to chronicle the death OF Charles
A. Wiederhold, which took place at his
residence Sunday morning, December
I'd, at hall past three o'clock, in the pres
encs Of his wife, his business partner
and number of sympathizng friends.
Charley was resident and business man
of Phoebe since 1870. nearly eight years,
during which time be was not out of the
limits Of tho county. Besides his pri.
vate business hs was connected with the
State Bank of Nevada since its start as
Secretary and Trustee, and was also a
prominent member OF the Royal Arch
Chapter of Masons, the Masonic fra
ternity. and the Fire Department, OF
which latter be was President at the time
of his death. He was public spirited
citizen in every sense Of the word and
hardly any enterprise was ever started in
Phoebe without first securing his CO.
operation. His private charities, only
those who were aided can ever tell Of
them; he never spoke of such matters
but we know that no one ever applied
TO him in vain. He leaves awife, to
whom he had only been married about
eighteen months, and child-a boy,
aged seven weeks. During his sickness
every care and attention that was posi-.
BILE he had; the doctor using his utmost
exertions, although knowing it waa OF
no avail. A post mortem examination
after his death decided the question that
for long time he had been past human
aid. On the news of bis death flags were
placed at half-nast over the Raymond u
Ely, Alps and Meadow Valley hoist
ing works and over the Hook & Ladder
and Hose Companies houses, all of the
fire companies having their houses
draped in mourning. The State Bank
also did like wise, remaining closed until
after the funeral. Much sympathy was
expressed for the bereaved wife and
child the ladies' vieing with each other
in their attention to them. The funeral
took place on Tuesday morning. Deem
Der 4th, under the auspices of the Ma
sonic Lodge, the entire Fire Department
assisting. At II o'clock, the time set fol
the funeral to leave deceased's late resi-
dence, all business houses in Phoebe ware
closed, the time being proclaimed by the
toling of the bells. From the house the
body was moved to the Episcopal church
where the burial service was read and 6
discourse on death preached by the Rev
R. H. Kline. From the church the re
mains were conveyed to the Masonic
burial ground, and under the beautiful ant
impressive ceremony of the Masons, con
ducted by W. NJ. Charles Meyers, th'
BODY was committed to Mother Earth
there to await the sounding of the LAS
Trum pet" On the return of the Ma
sonic fraternity from The burial grount
