lonely vigil at the hopsital, nursing
friends and strangers alike and off
times assisting in the burials
He WAS later presented with a
medal by the citizens of the town
in appreciation of his services.
He was member of the
Masons. Eagles. Elks and Knights

He was christcned Charles but
wa. nicknamed Puddy and when
FIRST elected to office was elected
under the name of Puddy and to

name legalized by law.
He will probably be buried in
this city under the auspices of the
lOGges of which he was a member.
