Charles N. Ritter, a well-known young business man, died Tuesday morning at his home, 1523 S street, from an attack of the grip, which resulted in typhoid-pneumonia. Two weeks ago Mr. Ritter was attacked by the former malady in a slight form, but Sunday the crisis came and Mr. Ritter never rallied. His funeral took place today from his late residence. He leaves a widow, but no children. Mr. Ritter had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, who will sincerely regret their loss. He was employed here some time in the music establishment of J.F. Ellis, but about two years ago removed to Pittsburg. That city did not suit him, however, and he returned to take a position as manager of the sheet music department of Sanders & Stayman’s store, which place he held at the time of his death.
