A Useful Citizen Paesee AwayFuneral Held This Afternoon ' Mr. R: C. Charles, whose life has been hanging by a mere thread for several days, died last night at 8.05 o'clock at his home in this city, surrounded by the members of his immediate fam ily and other relatives and friends. The end came peaceful ly and no doubt it was sweet rest to the tired body that had fought so heroically the affliction through so many months. Last summer, one afternoon while attending to some domestic duties in his yard, Mr. Charles was stricken with paralysis and has remained in a helpless and at times semi-conscious condi tion ever since. From the mo ment of his affliction kind and loving hands have ministered unto him daily, giving him every possible attention and comfort, and as he crossed over the river the last earthly sensation was the loving words and embrace from the devoted wife and fond chil dren who had been with him every- hour -during -his, long ill ness. Deceased was the oldest son of Washington Charles and was born in Guilford county a it milea from High Point, March 16, 1853. He spent his boyhood days on his father's farm and on reaching young manhood he went to Missouri, where he was engaged in farming. He re turned to Korth Carolina and was traveling salesman for the Geo. E. Nissen '".Wagon Co. for a number of years. Soon after returning to the state he married a daughter of Mr. J. P. Nissen, the founder of the Nissen Wagon Works, at Waughtown. To them three children were born, two sons and a daughter. One of the sons died when he was a boy. He is survived by his wife and two children, his father aiiJTwo brothers, and a sister, Mrs. F. M. Pickett, of this city. Mr. Charles came ' to High Point about 27 years ago and en gaged in the mercantile busi ness. This he followed success fully until he was appointed post master here. He served 4 years under the Cleveland administra tion and High Point never had a better postmaster. . Even before Mr. Charles'-time v,as out at the post office the business men here recognizing his business ability he was elected cashier of the Commercial Na tional Bank, which position he held up to last ' January, six months after he became incapac itated. Ia all of the positions he was privileged to hold, both pub lic and private, he proved him self competent and was conscien tious in the performance of every duty. He was a valuable citizen in many ways.. In the everyday walks, of life, he was full of the spirit of optimism always, lov ed to render service, both large and small,' to his friends and could . always be , found on the side of the best thought and .ac tion in the community. He lov ed good, clean citizenship and wpuld lend his influence to noth ing that did not point to "that standard, Of. strone conviction he was a most valuable ally in R. G. Charloo (all of his connections. Next to his family he loved his church best. We haye never known a man whose loyalty to church, as well as to those .convictions of public preference taught him by his father, was any stronger. His love and devotion for his family was genuine and worthy of emulation. He loved his home and at all times the good cheer and effulgence , of his happiness was the light and life of it. In the community he stood high as an upright business man and his name was always synonymous with truth and honesty. He was a strong friend and yet he was so modest about it that the great in erest in. his friends and the aid extended them was never known except by them. We have never known a man more loyal to his friends, who was willing at all times to hide a good (feed behind genuine friendship and Christian modesty. Not only his family to whom he was so devoted will miss him, but the community which he served so well and conscientiously can ill afford to give him up. The funeral ser vices will be held this afternoon from the First Baptist church, of which he had long been one of the Deacons, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Dr. W. C. Tyree, as sisted by Rev. Thos. Carrick and Dr. J. B. Richardson. The honorary pall-bearers will be composed of the Board of Di rectors, of the Commercial Na tional Bank, and the Board of Deacons of the Baptist church.
