CHARLES WHITAKER: - The tragic
death of this young man at the Foxyille
bridge in Royalton, on the Central YER
mont r. r. was duly chronicled in the pa
pers at the time it occurred, Feb. nth but
something more than mere notice OF his
death needs We written. Charlie, as he was
Familiarity called, was very promising
young man. He was only five months and
five DAYS past his majority and yet he bore
a character very fitting for every young
man to initiate. The writer has known
him from his youth and can truly say he
was a good boy and dutiful son. One OF
large family born in dependency and COM
PEELED to labor hard in the struggle for
life, he had by his early habits OF indus
try and economy strict honesty OF pur-
pose and faithfulness TO duty done much
TO improve the comforts Of his fathers
family and establish himself, thong
young as he was, in the respect and con-
fidence Of his neighbors and OF all who
knew him. There were many at his funeT-
al who bore ready testimony 70 the excel
lence of his character and high moral
worth. His faithful engineer, John Agan,
and also other friends came long ways to
attend the last solemn rites of one they had
learned to love and respect. His death IS
a great loss to the community and sad
atfiietion to the family, sadder, perhaps,
from the fact that Charlie was on his last
trip, by agreement, over the rail, expecting
on the morrow to return to hissparents'
home and assist in farther caring for the
family in the years to come. How sudden
the change! and how sadly friends and
family mournl ButlChristian "faith is the
substance cf things hoped for, the evidence
OF things not seem and the mother seessa
star and is comforted OF GOD as she writes;
All is over,
Dear hands folded
On calm
And peaceful breast.
All is over
Suffering ended
And our Charlie
Is at rest.
Yes, in our stFather's house OF many
mansions where Christ and the angels
dwell, wi here families shall meet and where
loved ones go to join in the song which
is ever new, .'Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive power and riches and
wisdom and strength and honor and glory
and blessing. And every creature which
is in heaven, and on the earth, and under
the earth and such as are in the sea, and
all that are in them, heard l saying, bless
ing and honor, and glory and power be
unto him who stitch upon the throne
and unto the Lamb for ever and ever"
