Charles Kundert who has been
auditor for the past four
years will be relieved of the duties of
the office on the first of March by the
auditor, Charles L.. Kundert.
The retiring auditor has served the
people well me faithfully and in a
manner that has won praise from all.
The county never had a more genial
or a more accommodating official, and
that is saying all that his friends
could desire. He was one of the first
settlers in Pleasant township, where
he was a successful farmer for many
years. He took charge of the audi
Office in, March 1903, on the re-
tirement of Jonas Minot, and from
that time until the present he has
given the Office his undivided care
and supervision. 1t was a pleasure
to do business with him because he
first attended to the wants of those
who called no matter how busy he
be with books or records. Mr..
Kundert has not decided on the bust
ness he will follow in the future, but
we hope he will find it convenient to
remain in Canton.
