Carried Mail for Five Years on Rural Mail Route out of City of Shawano
About the first of June, Charles F. Weed was taken sick. To secure the best care possible, he was sent to our hospital, where he gained to an extent that warranted his going back home. But he had a relapse and was returned to the hospital where on Thursday afternoon he breathed his last.
Mr. Weed lived to be over eighty-one years of age. He was born in Rodman, Jefferson County, New York, August 10th, 1835.
When the war broke out, he enlisted with the [Indiana] Regiment, 20th Infantry, Co E after a short time in the service, he was taken sick and had to go to the army hospital. When he was mustered out, he came west to Oshkosh. Here he started a recruiting station for enlistment to the federal army, and within a few months, he re-enlisted himself and went back to the front, this time with Co. E 42nd Wisconsin Infantry. He served until the end of the war.
He then returned to Oshkosh to make his home. He was married in 1864 to Miss Julia Barber. Seven children were born to this union, all of whom are still living. They are Ephraim of Oshkosh, Mrs. Esther Purdy and Miss Rebecca Weed of Marshfield; Wm. of Everett, Washington; Charles of Antigo; Mrs. Clara Morgan of Minneapolis; and Benjamin of this city. Mrs. Weed died in 1893.
Mr. Weed then taught school in different districts of the county, and in 1895, he was elected clerk of court; this office he held for two years.
In 1896, he was married to Miss Minnie Ham, and to them was born Harold, a son who is now attending high school.
Mr. Weed was a Baptist in church affiliation, but when he came to Shawano he found no such denomination here, and he attended the Methodist church, of which he has been a most faithful member.
The last five years of active life was spent as a mail carrier out of Shawano, and since advancing years and failing strength has compelled him to retire from active life, his faithful wife has taken up the work and has made the trips daily without fail.
The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at the Methodist church. Rev. Williams, district superintendent was here that day and preached the funeral sermon.
All of the children except Mrs. Morgan of Minneapolis were here to attend the funeral. Ernest Livermore, Mrs. Schneider, Mrs. Kuckuk and Athol Kuckuk sang. The pall-bearers were Col. Sanderson, J. Vosburg, F. F. Wirth, D. C. Perry, D. H. George and Peter Frank.
