Never has any community been so
shocked and grieved as was Palisade
last Sunday when Charles T. Logan,
ir., owner and publisher of the "Pali-
dian" and one of the most loveable
and warm hearted boys village ever
knew, passed away shortly before five
o'clock in the afternoon, victim OF
infantile paralysis.
His host of friends and neighbors
had barely time to realize that ne had
been seized with the illness when they
learned with heavy hearts that he
been taken from them.
The whole town was plunged into
mourning as deep as it was sincere
and on every side were heard express
sions of the most poignant sorrow
and sympathy for the bereaved
family. The word that Charles, who
always had smile and CHEEKY
greeting for everybody, was no more
flew quickly from home to home and
at first the sad news could scarcely
be believed. It had seemed only yes
terday that he walked the streets in
the full vigor Of his stalWart youNg
manhood and to think of him as
gone was incredible.
That his loss was personal grle1
to every man, woman and child IN tne
community was shown by the many
beautiful floral tributes and messages
that poured in on the stricken family
from all sides. It was an expression
of loving sympathy that showed the
regard in which he had been held by
everybody.
Charles Logan had been SO much
part of the town that it was hard to
think he was no longer a part OF 1t,
except as bright memory. He had
grown up with it, he was the first boy
in the town and he was always so fair
and square, so honorable and SO
manly that the town is all the better
because he lived in it.
Born in st. Charles street in New
Orleans, the home of his mother,
Charles came to Palisade with his
parents in April of 1905 and soon
took a prominent part in its social
and athletic life, part that ne held
for SO many years, as memories OF
his prowess on the bali field, the
TERMS court and basket bali floor
attest, He was always so fair and
square i,s,s yerythiaG he played and
SO considefAte of ever Dody else that
it was a delight to- play with him. He
worked long and hardAas manager Of
the Palisade Athletic Club ball team
and left the impress Of fairness on
everything he did did ~.
he found time, too, to take the
greatest interest in the younger boys
of the town, as was evidenced by tne
pains he took, when some of the boys
organized fraternity or society, to
impress on them what fraternity,
and loyalty, and being honorable IN
everything they did really meant. 1T
was these countless kindly and
thoughtful acts that were brought TO
mind by so many at the announce
ment of his death that resulted IN
rare outpouring of expressions OF
sorrow.
The boys of the Triangle Club, the
members of the Choral Society, Pro-
lection Fire Co. No. a, the Union
Church and many other organizations
fastened to pay tender tribute to his
memory.
To those who had SO often heard
him sing in the church and the school
house, at many village gatherings
there, it. did not seem possible that
they would never hear his voice
again.
It will be long, however, before the
memory of the melody of that voice,
like the memory of the life and the
noble character of the brave young
singer, will fade from the minds and
hearts of those who knew him.
