CHARLES DOTY

Charles Doty, 83, a veteran of the Civil war answered the final roll
call, Monday, June 11.  He passed away at his country home, half a mile
east of Ohio, from the infirmities of old age.

Charles Doty was born at Chaumont, NY., on April 18, 1840.  He enlisted
in the Union army on the 12th day of September in 1862 and served in the
civil war until September in 1865, having passed unhurt through some of
the hardest fought battles of the war.  When he received his honorable
discharge from the service, he settled near Ohio.  He is survived by a
widow, five daughters and a son.

Funeral services were held from the late residence on Wednesday
afternoon with the local post of the American Legion in charge.  The
funeral services at the residence were in charge of Rev. E.E. Plapp of
Red Oak.  The body was escorted to the Union cemetery by a firing squad
and pall bearers picked from the ranks of the Ohio Post.  At the
cemetery full military honors were accorded the departed veteran, the
customary three volleys being fired over the casket.
