Death of C.P. Wetzel Is Loss to Community.
Funeral services for Charles Parvin WETZEL were held Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock at the Church of Christ at Harveyville, conducted by Rev. Roy BIXLER of
Kansas City, an intimate friend of many years. Burial was in the Burlingame
cemetery under the direction of C. L. Carey. 
Charles Wetzel was born in Illinois, March 4th, 1875. He moved to the
Harveyville community with hs parents at the age of three years, and had lived
near Harveyville all his life. He passsed at his home east of Harveyville
Saturday morning, January 23, 1932, at the age of 56 years, 10 months and 19 days.
On January 1, 1899 he was united in marriage to Miss Jessie PARMITER at the
Parmiter home southwest of Harveyville. To this union two children were born,
Howard O. Wetzel and Mrs. Edward ROSS.
Mr. Wetzel had always been a farmer. For a few years after their marriage Mr.
and Mrs. Wetzel lived north of Harveyville, but in 1905 they bought the home a
mile and a half east of town where they had lived for twenty-seven years. There
they gradually built up a comfortable and comodious home surrounding it with all
the equipment needed for successful farming. The development of heart trouble
made him unable to do active farm work for the past three years, but he carried
on with the management, until called to lay down life's activity entirely.
Early in life he became a member of the Church of Christ at Harveyville and had
always tried to live a faithful Christian life. He was a man of strong
convictions and he lived as he believed was right. He had been very active as a
leader in community affairs especially in church and Grange work. The esteem in
which he was held by his friends and neighbors was attested by the large
assembly gathered to pay a last tribute. 
Besides his wife, Mrs. Jessie Wetzel, there remain to mourn his departure, his
son, Howard O., and his daughter, Mrs. Edward ROSS, both of Harveyville; four
grandchildren, Darlene, Linton, and Harold Wetzel and Earl Duane ROSS; two
brothers, Will Wetzel of Riverside, California; and Walter Wetzel of
Harveyville; many other relatives and a host of many many friends.
The text used by Rev. Bixler from II Timothy, 4:7-8, rightly expresses the close
of his life: "I have fought a good fight, I have finished by course, I have kept
the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righeousness which the
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me only but
unto all them also who love his appearing."
