Gladwin County Record dated 02-14/1924 Column - 5 Page - 4
Charles H. Fairchild died at his home in Beaverton, Saturday, Feb. 2, aged 78 
years. He had been in poor health for some time, but was confined to the house 
only three weeks. Charles Henry Fairchild, son of Sherman and Adeline 
Fairchild, was born in Huron county, Ohio, Feb. 22, 1846, and was married to 
Lois Allen Breckenridge in 1869. To this union were born four children, three 
of whom survive, Estella Kenyon of Midland, Thomas of Toledo and Walter of 
Cadillac. His first wife passed away in 1912 and he was married in 1914 to 
Alice E. Dann, who survives him, besides three brothers, Marshall of Mt. 
Vernon, O., and Ezra and Daniel of Beaverton, one sister, Alice of Adrian, 
Mich., and 11 grandchildren.
   Mr. Fairchild enlisted in Co. a 67 O.V.I at Etna, O., Oct. 11, 1861. He was 
promoted to duty sergeant and wounded at Winchester and Ft. Wagner. He was 
discharged at Hilton Head, S. C., and again enlisted at Toledo, Nov. 18, 1863, 
Batt, D, 2nd O H A., and was discharged at Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 28, 1865. He 
took a law course at Lansing, first pratice at Morenci, and was a member of 
the Gladwin county bar. He came to Gladwin county in 1897, settling on a farm 
at Dale, and 14 years ago took up his residence in Beaverton, where he resided 
up to his death.
   Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. J. Preston at the M. E. church 
and at the cemetery by the American Legion. Mr. Fairchild took a prominent 
part in public affairs, and his kindly genial disposition attracted to him 
many friends. In his death a useful citizen has passed away, one who will be 
greatly missed.
