OBITUARY TEXT: Charles Fell WILDASINN, pioneer lumberman and rancher of this
county, died last night at his home in Bishop. He had been in precarious health
for some time, but on Christmas day was able to be on the streets. The end came
suddenly, for he fell while walking about in his home. He was born in
Springfield, Ohio, October 31, 1840, therefore was aged 83 years, 1 month, 25
days. He came west at an early age, and is said to have crossed the plains no
less than eighteen times before the advent of the railroad. He came to Owens
Valley in 1870, and became a resident of Round Valley. When Mammoth became a
camp he went there and operated a sawmill, continuing that business for some
years after the camp's decline. Finally he sold both his sawmill and ranch
properties, and moved to Bishop. Besides putting up a commodious --me here, he
built what is now the Bishop Theatre, later disposing of that also. Mr.
Wildasinn was one of the early members of the Odd Fellows here, and was also a
member of the Masonic bodies up to and including the Mystic Shrine, receiving
the latter during a pilgrimage to the city of Mexico. He was a citizen of high
character and rigid financial honesty, and leaves a memory that will be
cherished by those who came in contact with him. He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Nell Wildasinn, who has the profound sympathy of all friends in her
bereavement. The funeral will occur from the family residence on East Line
Street at 2 o'clock to-morrow (Friday) afternoon; interment at the Masonic
cemetery. The service will be conducted by Winnedumah Lodge, F.& A.M. Additional
