Obituary

Charles Haller, the son of Christian and Christina Haller, was born April 16, 
1860, on a farm in Berlin township, and died early Monday morning, Jan. 30, 
1933, aged 72 years, nine months and 14 days.

His entire life was spent in this vicinity.  He resided on his farm in the 
southern part of Berlin township until 1915, when he moved to Lake Odessa and 
purchased the home where he died.

March 1, 1888, he was united in marriage with Miss Frances Augusta Kramer who 
preceded him in death on June 9, 1930.  Her loss was deeply mourned as their 
union had been a most congenial one.  Four children were born to the union.  
Twins, Carrol and Clarence died in early childhood.  The other two, Mrs. Lura 
Bushnell and Royal E. Haller, both of Berlin township, survived to mourn the 
loss of their parents.  He leaves six grandchildren also, Royal, Keith and Lola 
Haller, and Iva, Dorothy and Marie Bushnell, and a nephew Lynn Butler.

He was a loving father, a true friend and a faithful Christian.  His faith in 
God, his Savior, and in the reality of the eternal hour was strong and 
confident.
