"The Semi-Weekly Raleigh Sentinel" Raleigh, NC Saturday 18 Jan 1868
"The Fayetville News" pays the following tribute to that excellent man, the late Charles T Haigh, of that town:
"It becomes our melancholy duty to announce the death of one of our oldest, best and most esteemed citizens, Mr Chas T Haigh, on Wednesday last, the 8th inst., at about noon, aged nearly 74 years. Mr Haigh was born in England, on the 8th of June, 1794, and had been a citizen of this place since 1818 - 30 years. He was, in all that time, one of our leading business men, and did, for a great number of years, a large and very prosperous business, from which he had, up to the close of the war, amassed a very handsome fortune, and which was nearly all swept away at once by the great calamity that befell us all.
He held, for many years before his death, the Presidency of the Branch of the Bank of Cape Fear in this town, and the Presidency also, of the Rockfish Manufacturing Co. In his lifetime, he dispensed from his ample fortune, charity with no afinted hand; had the loss of that fortune may be said to be the more loss of others as well as his own.
It is superfluous for us to say to those who knew Mr Haigh - and he was extensively known in this and many other States - that the least suspicion of his integrity in any relation of his life was declined among the impossibilities. By birth, education, tastes, habits and association, he was a gentleman and more, he was a just man and a Christian."
