HALL, Charles - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

Charles Hall, aged 19 years, died Monday morning at his home, 9 miles west of the city. He was the son of William Hall, who was killed near Wallace several years ago.

Again has God in his infinite power and wisdom seen fit to call from our midst another precious soul. Charles Hall was born in 1879 at this place and died May 24th, 1897, aged 17 years and 7 months. His suffering for the past two months was very severe, but the grace of God sustained him until the angel of death took him away. No one heard the angel; no one saw the track of light that marked its path; no one heard the gust of the pearly gates open, but the form on the pillow heard the summons and God in his wisdom saw was pleased to call the dear one away.

It is hard, indeed to think that one just in the bloom of youth should be forced so early to like down by the roadside between Waynetown and Hillsboro to rest before half his journey on earth complete,

The funeral was preached at the Christian church at Waynetown Tuesday by Rev. Loucks of Waynetown. The remains were laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery of Waynetown   --- transcribed by Kim H
