I One Of the most familiar per
sons Of Wauseon and known to al
citizens of this and surroundin,
counties passed from earthly scene
last Saturday morning when tn
mortal life of Charles F. Greenougl
came to an end after a brief illness
For nearlv sixty years as boy anc
man he has lived in Wauseon though
handicapped with a serious physica
infrmity he has made his life count
for good in and for the community
and has compelled the respect OF
those who knew him by his fidelity
to his convictions of right, to trusts
reposed in him, the causes which he
espoused and for the blameless life
which he lived. He will be missed
by young and old alike. His near
relatives have long since passed
away and he has been left alone,
but to the older residents of the
town he has seemed member of
their own family and his own atti-
tude seemed always to indicate that
he felt himself to be closely related
to all his fellow townspeople. For
many years his has been a con-
spicious figure in Sunday School and
other religious gatherings in North
western Ohio Hew as devoted 10
the cause of Christianity always

means and his effort in this work,
An ardent temperance advocate and
worker; taking an active interest in
every movement for public and So
cial betterment giving to the limit
ofa his time and ability along these
lines.

sequently had many friends. He
Will be missed by many and yet
there is the feeling among those
most familiar with his life that
the end brings to him peace and
release from physical limitations
and that he has entered upon a re-
ward of perfected life which he
richly merits. He was ill but a
