Well-Known Resident of Milwaukee Passes Away in Denver, Where He Went to Benefit His Health.
Charles Sholes of Milwaukee, a son of the late C. Latham Sholes, inventor of the first typewriter, died at Denver, Col., Tuesday, of consumption. He had removed to Denver about six months ago in the hope of benefiting his health. He leaves a wife and large family, who reside at 213 Nineteenth street. Mrs. Sholes is a daughter of Dr. P.S. Arndt, a prominent resident of Kenosha.
Mr. Sholes was a printer by occupation, though he had in recent years been interested in investments. He served with the Twenty-fourth Wisconsin regiment of infantry as a volunteer in the Civil War, and his brother, Louis Sholes, who also enlisted, has been commander of E.B. Wolcott post. Charles Sholes was a well-known man about town, and had a wide acquaintance.
The body is to be brought to Milwaukee for interment.
