The citizens of Olcott were in ameasure
prepared but very much saddened by the
news that on Sabbath morning ChaS. L.
Wilder, president of the Olcott Falls Pa
per Co., had passed away at his beautiful
summer residence. Oak Ridge, after a
few weeks illness OF acute liver COM
plant. Services were held at his late
residence on Monday morning, conducted
by President Tucker of Dartmouth col
lege, to which the entire community was
invited. A special car conveyed the re-
mains and friends to Wellesley Hills
where the funeral was held on Tuesday
afternoon. During his illness his mind
was clear to the last and he arranged his
business affairs after he was told he could
not recover. Mr.. Wilder practically
built the village of Olcott, and has always
taken a deep interest in its welfare. He
was noted for his successful business ca
pacity, kind heart and christian benevo-
1ence. Words fail to express his many
sterling qualities, also to express the
confidence, love and respect in which he
was held by his employees and the entire
community. Olcott feels that It has sus-
tanned a great loss, and would mingle
their sorrow and sympathy with the fam
lily in their bereavement. Uot
