CHAS. VAN GILDER DIES SUDDENLY HERE EARLY TODAY

Gilder to spend the holidays with the latter’s sister, Mrs. Katherine Hayes, 
and her uncle, H.F. du Bignon, died unexpectedly early today at the residence 
of Mr. du Bignon, 716 Union street.  His death was attributed to a heart 
attack.

visited this city, and was well known among a large number of friends who were 
shocked to learn of his death.

& Root Company of Houston, Texas, and he had made his home in that city in 
recent years.  However, he head traveled over a wide area as a representative 
of that company, having been stationed in a number of cities.  He was born in 
Easton, Pa.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Alice Stiles Van Gilder, and one sister, Mrs. 
Whitemore Brown, of New York.

Funeral arrangements have not been completed pending the arrival of Mrs. 
Brown.  However, services will be held here and burial will be in Oak Grove 
cemetery, the following to serve as pallbearers:  John Howard of Savannah, 
John Stiles, Wright and Eddie Parker, Henry Cate and Frank Vogel.  
Arrangements are in charge of Mortician Edo Miller.
