Charles J. Dale, a well known cattle dealer of this section and one of Camden’s most esteemed citizens, dropped dead Monday morning at about 9:00 o’clock at the home of Charles Inman, two miles east of Camden where he had gone to get a cow which he had purchased. Mr. Dale was accompanied by Clade Richardson, who owns the late George Rowell farm. When they arrived at the Inman barn the men went into the stable and Mr. Dale placed the leading rope on the cow they were going to take. When he opened the stanchions and Mr. Richardson led the cow out. The animal was very frightened and started across the road and into the field even though Mr. Richardson and Mr. Dale did their best to hold her. Mr. Dale soon let go the rope, but Mr. Richardson did not look back to see why. Only a short time after this Mrs. Inman discovered Mr. Dale laying prostrate in front of the barn, face down. At first she did no think that death had occurred, and she bent over him and asked if he was sick. She then discovered that he was dead and called to Mr. Richardson, “Come, your father is dead.” Letting the cow go Mr. Richardson ran over to where Mr. Dale layed. He said that it was a great shock to find him dead.

As no one actually saw Mr. Dale when he was stricken it was necessary to call Coroner Teller from Rome and a permit was secured to move the remains to Mr. Dale’s home on Wolcott street. Undertaker Sanborn took charge of the body. As soon as possible after the death Dr. Smith was summoned, but inasmuch as death had been almost instantaneous. he could do nothing. The coroner arrived about 1 p.m.

It seems that while Mr. Dale was a large, fleshy man of apparent robust health, he had been doctoring for his heart for about three years. Last spring he suffered a severe attack an at that time the end came very near.

The sudden departure of this well-known citizen was a great shock throughout the community. Mr. Dale was a life-long citizen of the town. He was born on Dingle street January 12, 1865 a son of the late Luke and Susan (Byington) Dale. His life work had been farming, until some ten years ago when he became a buyer and dealer in cattle. He had been married twice. His first wife, Esther Groat, died in July 1911. His second marriage was with Miss Cora Rowell December 4, 1912. She survives with an only daughter, Doris, aged nearly six years. Deceased also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Charles Dale of Utica, Mrs. Charles Root of Camden and a brother, John W. Dale of Elm street, this village.

Mr. Dale was a man universally liked and his sad death brings deep regret to everyone who knew him. He had been very successful in farming and had owned different places. Immediately following the death of his first wife in 1911 he sold his farm this side of Thompson’s Corners and bought the Percival place, just over the village limits on Wolcott street. Being a man of much civic pride he had greatly improved the property.

Deceased was a member of Camden Grange and from its ranks and from this village will be greatly missed.

The funeral was held from the home at 2 o’clock this afternoon and burial made in Forest Park cemetery.
