Obituary Notice from THE ADAIR COUNTY NEWS, Wednesday, 6 Feb 1901:

Capt. C. C. CHRISTIE Dead:
In last week's issue of the News we spoke of the serious illness of the
subject of this notice, and at that time there was some hope for his
recovery, but Wednesday he commenced sinking, breathing his last Friday
morning at 2 o'clock.  He was an active business man and was one of the
best farmers in Green county.  He was also a dealer in live stock, handling
many mules and cattle annually.  He was a native Adair county and one of
the best known men within its borders.  He was popular with every body, an
exceedingly kind man to the poor, and will be greatly missed by that class
of citizens.  When the war between the States broke out he enlisted in the
13th Kentucky infantry, was promoted to Captancy, making a brave and
fearless soldier until the war closed.  Returning home with but little
money he went to work and in a few years accumulated a comfortable estate,
and died owning the most valuable farm in Green county.  The deceased was
about 65 years old and leaves a wife and a family of children, nearly all
of whom are grown.  To them and the other relatives the people of Adair
county extend their tenderest sympathy.  He will not only be missed from
the family circle, but through out Green ynd (sic) Adair counties.  The
burial took place at Mt. Gilead Friday afternoon and was conducted by the
Masonic Fraternity.
