Charley was attacked with pneumonia about three weeks ago and was not strong enough to overcome the disease. He had been a sufferer for 15 years and was almost a helpless cripple for the past 5 years, and his death came as a relief from many years of pain.

He afterward served in the German army in West Africa. After enlistment ended, he was a gold prospector in South America, again a soldier for the German Empire in Northern India. He came to this country about 20 years ago, after an unhappy marriage. He leaves a sister, neice and nephew back in Germany. He was buried in the City Cemetery Sunday, Rev. A. J. MEADERS conducting the services at the residence of V. B. EASLEY, a friend.
