Obituary: Charles Rundquist Dead - 1905
Charles Rundquist, one of Sapulpa's most highly respected citizens, who was stricken with paralysis of the brain Tuesday night at his home on Poplar Street, died, Saturday at 12:30 o'clock. From the time he was stricken until death relieved him, he did not speak a word but seemed to know what was going on about him, and several times left his bed and walked to where his new house is located, a block away on Poplar Street. Despite the efforts of the attending physicians he passed away as above stated, and his remains were laid to rest beside those of his first wife, in Twin Mounds Cemetery.
The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. S. L. Irvine of the Presbyterian Church at his late home, after which the remains were conveyed overland to the Twin Mounds Cemetery, accompanied by a number of sorrowing friends and relatives. When the procession reached the Twin Mounds Church a large number of old friends were in waiting to pay their respects to their old friend and neighbor.
Charles Rundquist was born in Stockholm, Sweden in 1832 and came to Illinois when he was 19 years of age. At the age of 20 he married Miss Margaret Land at Peoria, Illinois. Three children were born to them, namely: Mrs. Mary Sharpe, Jerico, Mo., Mrs. Emma Banta, Nevada, Mo., and Mrs. Ellen Brill, Eagleville, Mo., all of whom survive him. After the death of his first wife, he came to Sapulpa and engaged in his profession, that of blacksmithing, and conducted a shop where the Ripley Hotel now stands. He was married to his present wife in December, 1894, and shortly afterward retired from active labor. He owned considerable real estate in the city and had unbounded faith in the future of Sapulpa. As fast as he accumulated the money he put it in residence property which always found a ready renter and at the time of his death had a new 8 room house almost completed. He was 73 years of age on the 23rd day of September last. He was an only child.
In his death his wife loses a loving husband, his children a kind and affectionate father, his friends a good neighbor, and the city an enterprising citizen. Peace be to his ashes!∼Born in Sweden. Came to US and a young man. First to MN, then to Illinois and finally to Oklahama.
