Charles Belman, 81 years old, son
Of w. G.. Belman, the cashier of the
First National bank of Hammond,
died yesterday afternoon at his faith
cr's Glendale home after being sick
with scarlet fever for less than
week, his death causing a profound
sensation.
The death of Charles Belman, who
was graduate of the Hammond High
school in the class of '06 and until
recently a student OF the Wabash
college at Charlottesville, removes
young man who, owing to his own
spendid qualities and his fathers
prominence, numbered his friends by
the hundreds in Lake county and
northern Indiana.
There is not a high school in Lake
county where he was not known
through his athletic fame, and at all
the various meets over the state and
country which he attended he brought
fame to Lake county.
HAD BRILLIANT FUTURE.
Charles Belman was born in Ham
mond on May 10. 1889. He was a son
of his fathers first wife, and had as
his right sister, Edna. who died when
she was seven years old. His half
sister. Louise, died in infancy, she
having been a right lister to Creighton
Belman. the only surviving child OF
Mr.. Belman and his second wife.
Charles Bsiman's short career was
: largely influenced by his environ
ments. Having been brought up in
s4rround1ngs where people ala thsnSs
that were worth whIie. his young
mind soon began to follow the foot
steps OF his superiors. and he did
things which today sum up an envi-
able record. He manifested his deter
mination to do something for his
schools on the. athletic field and in his
studies for it was only within the
last few months that he had ventured
out into the business world.
GRADUATED IN 1905.
Charles Belman entered the Ham
mond high school as a freshman In
the fall of 1902, but 1t was not until
his later years that he began to de-
velop into a star athlete. While he
was adding to the fame of the Ham
