Memorial stone only since 1893 death date is before first burial in cemetery in 1904 [see Carl Nelson Jr information below].
CEMETERY RECORDS say age 15.
INFORMATION FROM RELATIVE Carl Nelson Jr ([email protected]) says Charlie and his brothers were riding logs by Minckler's Sawmill (the lumberjacks could do it, so it couldn't be too hard) on May 10 1893 and Charlie lost his balance and fell into the water.
When he came back up to the surface, his head got knocked in between two logs coming downstream, and he slipped underwater from the concussion.
It was several days before his body was recovered from the Iron River and Mr. Minckler drained the mill pond to help in the recovery.
Following his funeral, he was buried in the City Cemetery next to Kenneth Campbell (an uncle).
Fifteen years later, in May 1908, his mother, Sarah Kinney, died from blood poisoning that couldn't be stopped with the amputation of her arm.
The Kinney family was just beginning to come into money from the dividends of the mine behind the farm in Gaastra, so John S. Kinney was able to buy several lots in the Stambaugh Cemetery and a large headstone to place on it.
Shortly after Sarah's May 1908 funeral, John S. Kinney had Charlie exhumed from the Campbell lot in Iron River, and reinterred in the Stambaugh Cemetery next to his mother.
INFORMATION FROM RELATIVE great-niece Janet Feldhusen says he drowned in a river in Canada [incorrect: in Iron River].
INFORMATION from Barbara Holm says the Kinney family arrived in the area in 1882.
