Charlie P. Childers, 60, widely known and highly respected former Mt. Sterling citizen, died last Thursday afternoon at his home at 449 West Third Street, Lexington, following a three week's illness.

Mr. Childers, who was a native of Morgan county, operated a grocery store in Mt. Sterling for 25 years during which time he made many warm personal friends who were grieved to learn of his passing. Shortly prior to the war he moved to Charlestown, Ind., where he was quite successful in business, and three years ago he retired and moved to Lexington to make his home. A man of quiet, retiring personality, he was held in the highest esteem and was known as an honorable, upright citizen.

Survivors include his wife, Mrs. Mattie Schultz Childers; two daughters, Mrs. Thomas Johnston, Paris, and Miss Jean Childers, Lexington; three brothers, Robert Childers, Charlestown, Ind., and Joseph and John Childers, both of Ashland; four sisters, Mrs. John Gibbs, Fort Mitchell; Mrs. Paul Bedford, Jeffersonville, Ind.; Mrs. James Ingram, Maytown, and Mrs. John Oakley, Bushton, Ill., and two grandchildren.

Funeral services, conducted by the Rev. O. M. Morgan, pastor of the Lexington Broadway Christian church, were held Saturday afternoon, after which the body was laid to rest in Hillcrest Memorial Park cemetery in Lexington.

Casket bearers were Stanley Myers, Lillard Mefford, Henry Bell, Zeff Childers, Arnold Johnson and S. C. Johnston. Honorary bearers were Harry Hunt, Allie Treadway, Tommy Johnston, William Maupin, Richard Clark and Dr. Lee Allen Cornish.
