An Old Settler Gone 

Death of Charles Huston, An Early Settler

Charles Huston died at the home of his son, D. C. Huston, on south Division 
street, last night after an illness of only nine days of pneumonia.

Charles Huston was born in Lebanon, Madison County, N.Y., March 24, 1812, and 
hence would have been 80 years old on March 24th next. On January 1, 1835, he 
was married to Miss Mary Jane Enos, who survives him with whom she has lived 
over fifty-seven years. They came to Illinois in 1844, settling in Newark, 
Kendall County, where they resided one year, when they settled the following 
year in this county upon a farm in Mazon township. He remained upon that farm 
until the breaking out of the war, when he opened a general mercantile store 
in Old Mazon. Nature of things created a change in about 1870, when New Mazon 
sprang up and the old town was soon a thing of the past. Deceased, too, took 
up his residence in the new town and opened the first hotel there, which he 
conducted until four years ago last August, since then he has made his home 
here with his son Dewey. Deceased was a civil engineer and surveyed the line 
of the Chicago & Alton road from Wilmington to Pontiac. Besides his aged widow 
he leaves four children living, viz: Charles E. and Mrs. Mary Brown, both of 
Armour, South Dakota, and D.C. and George W. Huston of this city. The funeral 
will take place from the Baptist church at 2 o'clock tomorrow, and the remains 
will be interred in Evergreen Cemetery.
