Here Sunday
FUNERAL SERVICES FOR WELL
KNOWN PIONEER HELD THIS
AFTERNOON AT PRESENTER

T0RY's OUTSTANDING MEN.

Charles o. Benjamin, better known
to his countless friends as Charley

health up until the end his death
came as a stunning shock to friends
who had seen and talked with him
only a short time before.
Mr.. Benjamin was born in Ed
harrisburg. Michigan, Oct Z, 1873.
He came to Alaska in 1904 going
to Anchorage where he mined In the

men went to Yakataga Beach, again
engaged in mining and in the spring
of 1907 Mr. Benjamin arrived in
Wrangell. With H H Hungerford,

Storage, he went into the logging
business which proved a profitable
venture, enabling him to later on
buy out the Miles Mercantile store
in 1908.

the furtherance and betterment of the
community and always had the best
interests of Alaska at heart He was
twice elected to the House of Rep
resentatives of the Territorial Legis-
lature, in 1926 and 1927, and was
once in the Senate in 1929. For
years he served on the City Coun-
Gil, until moving out the highway

many years Chairman of the Hos

death was still a board member. He
was a member of the Presbyterian
church and an active member of the
Redmen and Elks lodge He also

camille business, and a daughter,
Marjorie, of Seattle. The latter when

il wrong in this case to sign my
name with a title, i. e. Miss
Bright? Some OF them don't even
know my first name is Beatrice.
Answer: While there is excuse
for a grown person who writes 10
a young child to sign the name
that a child calls her, the prevail
ence of this rudeness in our coun-
try makes it important not 10 set
this example to young girls who
NAV therefore think it proper to
sign a letter with Miss as part OF
the signature. It is quite all
right to put it in parenthesis
