Well Known in Clifton, Passes
Away After Brief Illness.
Charleton E Bull, aged 80 years, a
veteran of the newspaper field, at one
time a resident of Clifton, as proprie-
tor of the Copper Era, passed away
at his home, 1904 18th st. Douglas, last
Thursday, May 13 at 6 o'clock. He
had been i'll for a week with Ia
grippe, which developed into pneu-
monia.
The funeral took place Saturday
afternoon at o'clock from the First
Presbyterian church of Douglas under
the auspices of the Moose lodge of
that city and the Eighteenth and
Twenty-second infantry regiments.
The Moose attended in a body, as
did also the newsboys and carriers,
the employees of The International and
of the Dispatch.
Many beautiful floral tributes we're
given, the pulpit being banked with
flowers. The floral offering of The
International employees was a figure
30. which signifies among printers
and telegraphers that the task is
done.
Rev. w. C. Brewer preached the
sermon, dwelling on the many low
able qualities i, of the man who had
passed away. A duet was sung by
Messrs Collins and Kleinschmidt and
there was an anthem by the churcn
choir. A large number of friends
of Mr.. Bull and the bereaved family
were present. Mrs. Asa T. Hoy OF
the Bisbee Ore, who was associated
in business with Mr.. Bull many
years ago, came from Bisbee to at
tend the funeral, and Major George
H. Kelly, editor of The International,
made the trip from Los Angeles in
order to be present.
At the grave, the Moose conducted
their simple but impressive grave
side service.
The pallbearers, all of whom were
Moose. were Messrs. H. H. Beck, w.
IT. BOYD, S. F. Dubbs and E. L. Ka-
CAV from No. 645; J. S. Smith and
T. c.. Gollop from the Twenty-second
Infantry lodge.
I'm Memory of Carlton Bull.
In the death of Carlton E. Bull,
Douglas has lost one of its best cit1-
zens, The Daily International has lost
one of its founders and an important
factor in building this paper to its
present position in the business and
social life of the community, the writ
er has lost a friend who was valued
above all others, one who was faithful
children have lost husband and ia
ther, and one who exemplif1ed every
true meaning of the word; one who
devoted every effort of life for the
care, comfort and happiness of wife
and children.
Charley Bull was a man with keen
sense of right and wrong, and though
man who never sought or courted
notoriety he was firm at all times In
condemning evil practices and ever
ready to sustain right doing and right
living He was a, man who had no
enemies and a man that enjoyed the
highest respect and confidence of all
who knew him, and the love of all
with whom he became intimately as
sociated His devotion to his family
was so constant that he was seldom
seen away from home or his place OF
business, except when called away
on business,and on that account his
acquaintance was not large in com
parison to the length, of his residence
In Douglas. But those who met him
even casually, we're impressed by his
genial disposition and his readiness
to contribute to the welfare and hap
pienss of others. In business he
would rather sacrifice a loss than
contend for anything that might pos
sibly result in injustice to others.
Such a man was worth much to the
community where he resided; his de
parture means a loss to Douglas, an
irreparable loss to his family; in his
death the writer loses valued friend
and business associate who was ever
ready to present a hopeful and bright
prediction in hours of business loss
or depression, and one who would not
hesitate at any personal sacrifice to
help tide over any obstacle which
appeared in the path of success.
He carried with him to his grave
Saturday the high respect of the com
munity, the greatest measure of love
of his family and relatives; his bier
was covered with floral tributes that
attested the love which he had earned
in life.
True to his family true to LIS busi-
ness associates, true to those whom
he directed in their industrial eff
forts true to his country and his home,
state and city, his memory will live
loEg in this community in the circle
of his a2cuaintances
MAY lie rest in pf ace unit the day
of final account, when there will be
none to accuse him of lack of faith
fulness IN his life's duty.
GEO. H. KELLY.
