Obituary. CHARLES POLE.
Died at his home in the village on Sunday, March 23, 1888, in the seventy-fourth year of his age. The announcement of the death of Chas. Pole brings sorrow to many hearts in LaFayette County. On Sunday morning last he seemed to be in usual good health and the morning being stormy with strong wind and falling snow he went down town to get someone to go out to his farm and feed his stock. He returned to his home after a short absence and without moving his overcoat or cap sat down by the stove and placing his feet upon the hearth he said he would warm a little before going to the barn to feed his horse. He seemed to be somewhat oppressed in his breathing but his wife who sat beside him felt no concerns as it was not unusual for him to breathe heavily. In a moment his feet slipped from the hearth, his hand dropped forward and without further warning he was dead. Dr. Hayden was summoned and friends and neighbors came, but all too late. His death resulted from heart disease and he had often remarked that he expected his death would be sudden.
Mr. Pole was one of the oldest settlers of this county, having removed here in 1837 from Frederick County (now Carroll County), Maryland where he was born on the 9th of October 1814. After his arrival here he engaged in mining, which occupation he followed until 1852. His old associates in pioneer life have nearly all preceded him to the mysterious beyond, yet no man has ever left behind him a purer record than Charles Pole. No page of his life's history is blemished with the record of a wrong and though many of his good deeds are remembered and cherished by his friends a countless number more of secret kind and charitable acts are only known by the recording angel above. He possessed the confidence of the people to an extraordinary degree and although against his wishes, he was often compelled by his friends to accept offices of honor and trust. He was twice elected as representative to the Territorial Legislature and twice to the Assembly of the State. He was many times Chairman of this town and always discharged every private and official duty fearlessly and honestly. Personally he was a companionable man, of pleasant disposition and of strictly moral and sober habits, with a peculiar ability to make himself agreeable to all. In his domestic relations he was a kind husband and an indulgent parent, who seemed to find his greatest happiness within the home circle. He leaves a widow and three children to mourn his death. His funeral took place yesterday afternoon. Rev. Christopher Cook, an old family friend of the deceased officiating. His remains were followed to their last resting place by a large [word unclear] of sympathizing friends and interred in Evergreen cemetery.
