com. CHARLES ROTH
CALLED BY DEATH
County Commissioners Sudden Sum
mons While Visiting IN Chicago

Charles Roth, commissioners Of
Hand county from the First District,
passed away Sunday at the home VI
his brother Frank Roth. in Hinsdaie,
a suburb of Chicago.
The brief message containing this
news was a great surprise to the peo-
pie of this city Sunday. Mr.. Roth
had left home a few days before APP
~parently in good health for a brief
visit and rest, and this announcement
of his death without previous illness
will come as a shock to the county
particularly SO when associated with
the very recent death of Commission
err j. w. H%eltibridle and Register OF
Deeds ID. p. Cree.
Mr.. Roth was a pioneer farmer OF
Holden twp, where he took up gov
eminent land. where he married, and
where he raised a family. He was
serving his second term az County
Commissioner from the First District
with credit to himself and his dis
trict. The death Sc close together OF
these two County Commissioners, and
Register of Deeds Cree, is a strik-
ing coincidence i'm the county's offici-
al history. SO far as can be recalled
at this time they are the first deaths
to have occurred among county Off
Gals while still in Office since the
county's organization.
Charles Ford Roth was born at La
Noble, Ill, August 5. 1851. He came
to Hand county in 1888, taking up
government land and following the
business of farming. He was marri-
ed in June, 1890, to Miss Lora Croll.
To this union five children were born
Horace, Elda, Guyla, Russell. Victor.
all of whom survive to morn his loss.
Funeral services were conducted
Yesterday at the NJ. K. church in this
city by the pastor Rev. Tarleton. and
the remains we're buried In the G. A.
r. cemetery.

question. What about a city sup
ply of ice for next summer? The ice
plant, erected and owned by w. 7.
Raffety, from which the city has Sc
cured its supply of ice for some
years, is not now occupied. The
plant is complete, with equipment for
putting up ice which is secured from
artesian lakes right at the plant.
Somebody should take hold of It soon
and secure the necessary supply.
