Christian Aid

At the age of 73 years, Christian Aid died at his residence on North High Street Thursday morning at ten o'clock after an illness of two weeks, due to Bright's disease. He was the son of Francis Anthony and Mary Anna Aid, and was born in Chillicothe in the Kaiser property on North High Street, September 7, 1845, and when a child moved with his parents the old Aid homestead on the terrace in the property previously belonging to William Creighton, which was a historic landmark of the first half of the nineteenth century. He spent his entire life within one block of the place of his birth.

On October 29, 1867 he was united in marriage with Caroline Steigler, who with two children, Mrs. Arthur Morgan and Frank E. Aid of this city, and three grand children, and two brothers, George Aid of St. Louis and Jacob of this city and four sisters, Mrs. Mary Miller, Mrs. Andrew Burg, Rosa and Anna Aid, all of this city, are left to mourn his loss.

Just one week ago, a sister, Mrs. Criqui of Mansfield passed away, and nine months before, his eldest son Edward C. Aid preceded him in death.

For many years, Mr. Aid conducted a shoe store and shop on the corner of High and Water streets, but sold out about fifteen years ago, after which he was in the employ of the B. & O. shops for six years, since which time he has retired from active work. In his death, the city loses one of its best known older residents, a man, who was widely read and interested in the great history-making developments of the day.

He served his country in the 187th Regiment Ohio Infantry during the Civil War.

Funeral Services will be held at St. Peters church Saturday morning at 8:30 o'clock. Rev. Father M. A. Heintz officiating. Interment will be made in St. Margarets cemetery.
