CHARLES E. REDMOND DIES OF PARALYSIS
LIFELONG RESIDENT OF CITY WAS LONG IDENTIFIED WITH PAPER MILL

     Charles E. Redmond, 55, one of the  Redmond family known everywhere on
account of  its active connection with the paper industry, died Monday morning
at his home, 1521 East avenue, after an illness of several months.  He was a
victim of paralysis and had been failing steadily. During the final period of
his illness, his powers of speech were so affected that he was forced to ring a
small bell to attract attention and in communication with members of his family
had to write all he wanted to say.  During his years of activity he was an
energetic and aggressive worker.
     Mr. Redmond was born in 1871 in Kalamazoo and had resided here all of his
life with the exception of a few years spent in Thorold, Ontario. He was a
millwright and had been connected with the Kalamazoo Paper Company for many years.
               ACTIVE CHURCHMAN
     A member of the Knights of Columbus and the Holy Name Society of St.
Augustine's church, he was always active in church affairs and he had a large
number of friends in this city.
     Besides his widow, he leaves three children, Mary Elizabeth, Frances, and
Charles Jr.; his father, Patrick Redmond, Sr.; two sisters, Mrs. Alfred Pickett
and Mrs. Frank Pickett of this city; and six brothers, Michael, William, David
and P.J. of this city, John Redmond of Detroit, and C.F. Redmond of Los Angeles,
California.
     The funeral will be held from St. Augustine's church at 9:00 Wednesday morning.
