DEATH OF CHARLES DEY
WAS MEMBER OF ONCE CELEBRATED DRY GOODS FIRM OF THIS CITY.
Charles Dey, a former Elmira merchant, was found dead Wednesday night at his home in Penn Yan. He is survived by a widow who was Julia Steinhauser, of this city, also five brothers, Alexander, of Scotland; John, of Summit, N. J.; Robert, Donald and James, of Syracuse, and a sister, Mrs. Perry Coates, of Lancaster, England. The funeral was held at the residence in Penn Yan Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Charles Dey was a native of Scotland where he was born sixty-four years ago. Aberdeen was his native city. When a young man he came to this country as chief accountant for Sibley, Lindsay & Curr, of Rochester. Shortly thereafter he came to Elmira and with his brothers, Robert, James and Donald, started the "Boston Store." For several years the firm was Dey Brothers and Davidson. The place of business was in the store in Water street taken over the present week by the dry goods firm of Personius, Malone and French. Following a successful career in the West Water street store the firm took the Fish building now the home of the big S. F. Iszard company. A quarter of a century ago the firm of Dey Brothers and Davidson dissolved, Mr. Davidson and Charles Dey retiring. The other brothers went to Syracuse where they established a store which was one of the best known in the east. Charles Dey went to New York for a time and engaged in business. For seventeen years he lead the life of a retired gentleman at Penn Yan. Charles Dey was a man of intellectual attainments. He was devoted to books, current magazines and the press but did not neglect the physical being. He was while there a member of the Y. M. C. A. At that time the association had a fine gymnasium on Carroll street, under the direction of Professor Mayer. It also had an open track and athletic field on Madison avenue at the foot of Carroll street on what was called the Gregg lot. Daily after his work in the store Mr. Dey took pleasure in exercising and teaching younger men maneuvers he had earned. He also took long walks. Financially he was liberal in aiding athletic and all other uplift work. In 1887 Mr. Dey married in this city Miss Julia Steinhauser, a sister of George, Henry and Carl Steinhauser.
