CHARLES E. OGDEN


Charles E. OGDEN was born March 6, 1845 in DeWitt County, Illinois,
and quietly departed this life to his reward, at his home in
Kingfisher at 8 p.m., August 14th, 1929; age 84 years, 6 months and 8
days.

He was a Civil War veteran, enlisting in Co. F, Ills. Inf., at the age
of 18 years. He served three years. He was a charter member of the
G.A.R. Post of Kingfisher.

July 29, 1867, he was married to Miss Mary A. REEL at Warrensville,
Ill. To this union were born six children, all of whom are living
except William D. OGDEN, who died at the age of seven years. In 1872
Mr. OGDEN moved from Illinois to Indiana, where he lived until 1889,
when with his family he came to Kingfisher, Okla., and took a claim in
Kingfisher county.

Mr. OGDEN made a profession of faith in Christ and united with the
Baptist Church in 1874, and through the years his greatest joy has
been his church relations. He was an ordained deacon. At the time of
his death he was a member of the First Baptist church of this city.

During the past few years he has been in very poor health and most of
the time was unable to attend Church, yet he has always held his
interest in and kept up with the work of his church. Being a member
of the Home Department of the Sunday School he has faithfully studied
his Sunday School lessons and in this he found a source of comfort.

He leaves to mourn for him, his wife, Mrs. C. E. OGDEN, his children,
Henry C. OGDEN, Mrs. Ida M. KETCH and George A. OGDEN of Kingfisher;
John A. OGDEN of Herrington, Kans., and Mrs. Phillip E. POSEY of
Boston, Mass., besides his grandchildren and a host of friends and
acquaintances.

The family has the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community. The
funeral services were held Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the Methodist
Church, H. T. WILES, pastor of the Baptist Church in charge.
Interment in Kingfisher Cemetery.
