Many old schoolmates and friends of Charles Allen Hendricks were much surprised to hear of his death which occurred Wednesday at his father's home on east Franklin street. The death is a particularly sad one, especially as it taken from us one in his first years of young manhood. He was born June 13, 1872, and until a few days since was a private in Battery C, light artillery, at which time he was honorably discharged, on account of disability resulting from an attack of typhoid fever. He returned home only to suffer a total relapse. Rev. H. A. Tucker had charge of the funeral services, which were held at the family residence, 507 east Franklin street, at 3:30 Friday afternoon, it being the fourth anniversary of of the burial of his mother.
