Cd' A Resident Who Came Here in 1890 Succumbs

  Charles L. Dittemore, 97, a resident here since 1890 and long identified with 
activities of the Coeur d'Alene
Chamber of Commerce, died Saturday night. His death occured at Pinewood Manor 
where he had been a
patient for more than three years.
  Mr. Dittemore served as secretary of the Coeur d' Alene Chamber of Commerce 
for many years, and also was
active in his promotion for good roads in the area, which merited him the 
nickname of "Good Roads Charlie."
  His interests in such affairs continued until ill health intervened. He was a 
life member of the North Idaho Chamber 
of Commerce and also a member of the First United Presbyterian Church.
  Mr. Dittemore, the son of the late Mr. and Mrs L. T. Dittemore, was born in 
Healdsburg, Calif., Feb 17, 1870, and 
with his family moved to Dayton, Wash. in 1878, making the trip by covered 
wagon. He received his high school
education at Dayton, graduating in 1888, after which he served as an apprentice 
printer.
  He visited Coeur d' Alene in 1889 and a year later he attracted his parents 
here, the family residing north of
Coeur d' Alene.
  Shortly after The Coeur d' Alene press was founded in 1892, he was employed 
by L. T. Scott, editor, and in the
next seven years he filled numerous positions from printer's devil to editor. 
In 1900 he joined E. B. Keilor in the
grocery business, the store occupying several downtown locations. In later 
years he was associated with the late 
John W. Boothe in the real estate and insurance business.
  Mr. Dittemore's wife Gertrude, died here Nov. 24, 1960.
