Tidioute Loses Good Citizen.

As we chronicle the death of our es-
teemed friend, Charles Fuellbart, Sr., OF
the neighborlng town of Tidioute, we are
reminded Of the Psalmist's expression re-
garding the Inconsistency of mans days
upon earth, for 1t seems but Yesterday
that we felt his warm hsndclssp and
listened TO his recital of interesting ex-
periences of pioneer lie. But, like the
flower oft field" the wind passed over
aud he is gone; yet the world is the better
for his having been here. and we are the
richer in thought and purpose for our
having known him.
Charles Fuellhsrt, Sr., was the son OF
John Fuellhsrt, Esq, and Philopena
Fridenberger Fuellhart and was born in
Hochstsdt, Grand Duchy of Baden, Ger

genius, being University graduate, and
his mother, a woman of noble birth, be-
ing person of culture and refinement.
From them he Inherited his splendid
physique, his fine intellect, his loyal, loy-
ing, generous heart. Having had the best
advantages possible for an education in
his native land, he was quite able to be-
come his fathers assistant, at the age OF
sixteen, as a surveyor in Pennsylvania,

had come to New York in 1854, had al

in the purchase of land for the r. r.
companies, and in the survey of the same.
Their first home in America, was at st.
Mary's, Pa, to which place they came
overland in wagons from Olesn, N. Y,
through large portions of wilderness road.
Many thrilling incidents took place
from the time they left in Germany till
they reached st. Msry's, all of which was
indelibly impr essed on the minds of the
children and which the subject of our
sketch was fond of eating. In 1861, the
family removed TO Kane, which was then
comparatively wilderness. twas there
the fortitude of the brave mo ther was
tested to Its utmost while the father and

severest test was to be separate so COM
pletely from all religious associations, but
with unwavering faith she impaired 10
her children high ideals of honor and in
tegrity, and never forgot her devotions In
the homelife.
In 1868, the family removed to Warren
county, near Tidioute, and soon after
purchased the Msgee farm which still be-
longs to the Fuellhart family. From the
time Charles, Sr. Joined his father in
America till 1871, he was his fathers
helper, proving himself trustworthy in
every respect. On Sept. 9, 1871, he was
united in marriage to Miss Mary Vogt.
This union proved happy one and an
ideal home was established where love
reigned supreme. To them were born
three children: Charles, Jr. of Tidioute;
William o of Endeavor, and Mrs. VIM.
Gillespie Morrow of West Hickory. Soon
after his marriage an opening presented
itself and Mr.. Fuellhsrt became the pro-
prietor of the Fuellhsrt meat market. In
this he proved himself an artist in every
sense of the word. Although his tastes
and sbilities had given him ambitions for
literary developments, he applied him
self so faithfully to his work as to become
one of Tidioute's most successful business
men. But it was in the home life, as
husband and father, that he excelled, and
his beautiful home became the center
of choice social life which has helped to
raise Tidioute to higher plains of living.
For many years Mr.. Fuellhart was
mem Der of the Universalist church at Ti-
dioule, during which time he sang in the
choir. When the church dsbanded, he
became regular attendant of the Pres

choir. He was a person always to be
relied upon and his place will be hard to
fill. He was a member of Temple Lodge,

the l. o. o. f.
Besides his wife and children he is sur
