Obituary excerpts:
Charles Warren Zigrang, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Zigrang, passed away at St. Anthony's Infirmary, Alton, March 9, 1941 after several months illness.
Although death was expected at any time the past two weeks, yet, when the news that the Death Messenger had called, it was a shock to loved ones and many friends who had watched and who were interested in Charles' condition during the entire period of his illness.
Charles Warren Zigrang was born at Batchtown, Illinois, July 13, 1922, having attained the age of 18 years, 7 months and 26 days.
While still a small babe he was baptized by Rev. F. M. Hedger, pastor of the Methodist church in 1922. Later in the year 1936, Charles became a member of the Methodist church.
