Unidentified Publication, 1893

Died; Sunday morning, July 2nd, 1893, Charles Burt, at the home of his parents
in Campbell.

Death, when it comes spreads its gloom over communities like ours, but when he
passes the old and decrepit or the child and with stern partiality poises its
wings over one in the full strength of manhood, its pall of gloom is greater.

The deceased, Charles Burt, was 29 years and 11 months of age and leaves a wife
and four children to mourn his loss.

Mr. Burt was a respected citizen and an honored member of the Lake Odessa lodge,
No. 429, I.O.O.F.  The I.O.O.F. lodge has been instituted here nearly two years
and this death was the first one that has occurred in their ranks.  The Odd
Fellows of the Lake Odessa lodge to the number of about 25 drove to the home of
the deceased, where they met a number of Freeport Odd Fellows, and at 3 o’clock
a funeral service was conducted, Rev. J.W. Arney of Lake Odessa preaching the
sermon.  The floral offerings were very handsome.  At the cemetery, where about
250 people congregated, the usual rites of the order were performed, and all
that was mortal of him who so recently had been with us here were laid away to
their last long rest to “Sleep the sleep that knows no waking, morn of toil, nor
night of working.”
