CHARLES C ENTRIKEN

In Malvern on Saturday, Charles C Entriken a veteran resident who had taken 
much interest in public affairs died in his 83rd year. He had been retired 
for some years, and last winter was in a serious condition, then rallied and 
was able to ride out in an automobile but for the past two months had been 
confined to the house.

He was born near Chadds' Ford in 1834, a son of John Entriken and in his youth 
he conducted Entriken's Mill, south of Duffryn Mawr. Later he had charge of 
the Malvern Mill owned by the late William Penn Evans. For a time also he 
managed a mill at Steelton, near Harrisburg.

He was one of the original men to take an interest in securing a borough charter 
for Malvern and so appreciative were the people that they elected him to the 
original Borough Council, of which he became President. He served with much 
credit being a man of ability and care, and the thoroughness he showed in his 
work was of much advantage to the town. Being a skilled mechanic, he knew when 
work was well done.

His wife, who was the sister of John and William Thomas, died two years ago, 
leaving him five children: Nellie, wife of Darlington Priest; John an engineer 
in Philadelphia; Robert with a builder in Bustleton, Philadelphia; Anna who had 
been his housekeeper in recent years; William who is with a milk condensary in 
Western New York: two brothers are living – John of Malvern and George of Westtown.


Entriken – In Malvern, Pa on Saturday August 19 1916, Charles C Entriken in his

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the funeral without 
further notice from his late residence in Malvern on Tuesday august 22 1916.
