A LETTER OF CONDOLENCE Tishomingo, Oklahoma, November 21, 1907 Judge and Mrs. Gullett: Allow me to offer you my most sincere sympathy at the death of your dear son. Since coming to Tishomingo three years ago I have met him very frequently, often professionally. Professionally, his attainments were of a high order. I never knew him to say an unkind word of any one. Hoping that the great comforter may assuage your grief is the prayer of your true friend. "Whom the Gods love, die young, but they whose lives are dry as summer dust, burn to the socket." Hugh Stewart IN MEMORIAM Charles Cicero Gullett, was born in Indiana on August 6, 1870; died in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, November 20, 1907. He, with his parents went to Colorado where he was educated in the high school, afterwards taking a scientific course in Valpariso, Indiana, where he graduated. He was a practical miner and gave to the mining industry much and valuable aid in matters of discover, invention and development. He occupied a broad field in his study and work. His reading was both wide and minute, his thinking systematic and clear. He will be remembered in Canada and British Columbia, having filled engagements there in the examination of mines. He became a member of the Christian Church when he was a boy and his friends knew him to be a large hearted and generous man. He loved his friends, and while he respected and honored his father, he loved his mother with a tender and beautiful devotion. But who can tell of the inner struggles and deep yearnings of a heart which, like his, had felt the touch of love and the burdens of sorrow? How many times it cried in the night like a child for its mother, or how often the trembling feet sought the shining path from among the shadows! Who knows? The announcement of his untimely death was a shock to the community and as an expression of sincere sympathy, the members of the Tishomingo bar met in a session of sorrow and attended the funeral in a body and took part in the last sad rites. The bar was led by Judge J. J. Stobaugh, who conducted the song service. Rev. Thomas Carey, pastor of the Presbyterian Church offered prayer which brought much comfort and then read and commented upon the 90th Psalm. Rev. J. J. Head, pastor of the Methodist Church offered another prayer whose spirit seemed to breathe the very fragrance of hope and the breath of God in the stricken household. The service was closed by singing "My Latest Sun is Sinking Fast," and ended with the chorus, "O, Come, Angel Band!" it being a favorite hymn of the deceased. Immediately after this service the interment took place from the residence of Judge A. H. Gullett, the distinguished father of the deceased, attended by a large number of sympathizing friends and neighbors. He had just returned from the Vera Cruz mines New Mexico, arriving here only a little over three days before his death, the immediate cause of which was pneumonia. Mr. Gullett leaves a father, mother, wife and two children to mourn their loss, but they have a host of friends here and elsewhere who sincerely mingle sympathy with the sorrows of the bereaved.
