Charles Winter
Is Laid to Rest
———
Yesterday the remains of Charles L. Winters, for eighteen years a resident of the Philomath and Alsea vicinities, and recently of Corvallis, was laid to rest in Newton cemetery. Mr. Winters was born at Fox, Illinois, January 14, 1844, and in 1874 became a Kansan, where he married Mary I. Hicks June 10, 1880. In 1889 the change to Oregon was made and in the places above named Mr. Winters and family lived and enjoyed the respect and confidence of a wide circle of friends. About five years ago Mr. Winters moved to Corvallis, and on Tuesday, March 18, he passed away from heart trouble. The widow and a son, George C. Winters, who teaches at Mill City, are left, together with one sister, Mrs. M.A. Wing, of Ottawa, Illinois. The elder Winters was a member of the A.O.U.W. At the service and the grave there were very many lovely floral offerings, and thus a splendid citizen passes into memory.
