Fort Gaines Sentinel 13 May 1904 [Fort Gaines, Clay Co GA]
"Death of Dr. C. E. Redding."

"On last Thursday night after our paper had been put to press, we received the sad 
intelligence of the death of Dr. C. E. Redding, who had just departed this life at 
his residence here. Dr. Redding had been in failing health for several years, but 
only of recent months had it been noticeable that he might be called to pass into 
to beyond at any hour. About a month ago, feeling that the local physicians would 
not be able to render him any benefit, he went to Atlanta for special treatment, 
but received no material benefit, and came home to spend his last hours on earth 
in the bosom of his family.

Dr. Redding had been with his family, a resident of Fort Gaines for quite a number 
of years, and when physically able enjoyed quite a successful and lucrative practice 
in his profession, and always the esteem and confidence of the people. The writer 
does not know enough of Dr. Redding's family history to be able to write an obituary, 
but he does know that he was one of nature's nobleman, -- an earnest, patient, 
hard-working professional gentleman, -- such a man as will always live in the hearts 
and memories of those who knew him best. We shall miss his quiet, gentlemanly and 
courteous greetings as we go to and fro our daily tasks, but we shall expect to strike 
hands with im on "the everlasing shores of deliverance."

His wife and children are receiving the sympathies of our entire people.

His remains were laid to rest in the cemetery here last Friday morning at 10 o'clock."
