Belding Banner News, 29 Dec 1904

Chas P. Locke, son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur H. Locke of this city died in Ionia 
Monday night at 10:30 o’clock.  He had been sick for two weeks, and while it 
was known that his disease was of a severe nature it was not generally known 
that his illness was serious.  When his symptoms became of an alarming nature 
his parents were at once notified, but he passed away before they could reach 
his bed side, his brother Alfred being with him when the end came.

The death of a man in early prime of life is especially sorrowful, and the news 
of his taking away is a shock to the community, and brings sadness to many 
hearts, to whom his generous impulses and genial nature had been revealed.  The 
deceased was born in Easton, April 22, 1870, he graduated from the Belding High 
school in 1886 and from the Agricultural College in ’91.  He studied law in 
Lansing and Detroit and afterward located in Ionia, being at one time a member 
of the firm of Locke, Murphy & Locke.  A year ago he formed a partnership with 
John Nichols and the firm was doing an excellent business.  He was married 
eight years ago, on Dec. 30, 1896, to Miss Louise Draugt of Port Huron, who, 
with two children, a boy of six years and a girl of 2, are left to mourn their 
great loss. 

The funeral will be held in Ionia, Friday at 10:30 a.m. and his remains will be 
brought here for interment.
