There was general surprise throughout the city Monday when the sad report circulated that Charley WEST, only son of Mr. & Mrs. B. O. WEST, had died. He had been in poor health for several years and was taken to Norfolk, Va., last spring in the hope that the climate might benefit his health. But after two months there he was brought home and taken to Colorado three weeks ago. There his kidney trouble soon developed Brights disease and Mrs. West noticed that he was steadily failing and hastened home with him arriving Sunday night. The long journey and his anxiety to get home seemed to overtax his weak constitution and he lapsed into a semiconscious condition and continued sinking until death gently relieved him.
Charles William WEST was 12 years old last May, was a bright, gentlemanly little fellow, and his death is a blow to the family which only those can realize who have given up their only son.
The funeral took place at the residence Thursday at 2 o'clock, Revs. RAYMOND, of Plymouth, and BUCKLES, of this city, officiating.
--
The funeral of Charles WEST which took place at the house at two o'clock this afternoon was attended by a large number of people, among whom were many admiring young friends of the boy who was taken so sadly and prematurely from those who loved him. Rev L. C. BUCKLES preached the funeral sermon in a manner thoroughly befitting to the occasion.
The floral offerings were beautiful and profuse and bespoke the high esteem in which Charles was held by all who knew him. The flowers were made up in many beautiful designs, filling the room with sweet fragrance as if the spirit of him who had departed still lingered in its innocent sweetness to make this last ceremony an impressive one.
The floral presentations were made by the following people:
Mrs. S. PAINTER, Mrs. L. K. BROWER, Harold and Fred RUH, Raymond DAWSON, Harry HOLMAN, Johnny BENNETT, D. MARTIN, Mrs. Tom CLARK, Mrs. Jacob BROWN, Mrs. ROUCH, Mrs. E. VonEHRENSTEIN, Mrs. A. F. BOWERS, Mr. & Mrs. Tom JACOBS, Mrs. Julia HOOVER, Howard TIPTON, Messrs. MORRISON and HACKETT, Mrs. A. ROSS, Mrs. SLUSSER, Mrs. Jacob REITER, DAWSON & RICHTER, Mrs. M. A. BAKER, Mrs. H. KEWNEY, Miss Nora HIGHT and Miss Kathrine KILLEN.
