Weekly Republic, Springfield OH
Died, this (Saturday morning) at 30 minutes of one o'clock, Gen. Charles 
ANTHONY, in the 64th year of his age. Gen. ANTHONY retired on Friday evening, 
in his usual health, and arose between 12 and 1 o'clock, and feeling ill, laid 
hold of the bedpost to sustain himself, groaned twice and fell, dying 
instantly without a struggle. General ANTHONY was born the 30th of March, 
1797, in Richmond, Virginia, came to Ohio when 15 years old and settled in 
Cincinnati, in 1821 he removed to Springfield and commenced the practice of 
law and also followed the business of merchandising with his brother-in-law, 
at the place now known as "Trapper's corner." He served one or more terms in 
both branches of the Ohio Legislature, where he distinguished himself in his 
labors to bring about a reform in the penitentiary system now at Columbus. He 
interested himself in projecting the Springfield, Mt. vernon and Pittsburgh 
R.R., of which he was elected president, which office he held during its 
construction. He afterwards resumed the practice of law which he has 
continued, only when interrupted by ill health, to the time of his death. He 
has been more or less connected with the history of Springfield for the past 
38 years, and his loss is severely felt by our citizens. He was a man of 
distinguished ability, and as a public speaker had few equals in this part of 
the country. The funeral services of the late General Charles ANTHONY will be 
observed tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, at the family residence, 
Anthony House, Main Street. Anthony was Grand Master of Masons in Ohio in 1832
