Charles O. Power, a well-known Boston newspaperman, was suddenly stricken at his home, 1246 Commonwealth av., Allston, last evening, as he was about to sit down to dinner, and died within a short time from the attack of heart disease.
Mr. Power had been connected with the Hearst interests in Boston a number of years, and yesterday was at his office at the Boston American, apparently in his customary health.
Mr. Power was born in Springfield about 56 years ago, the son of Mr. and Mrs. David Power. He attended the public schools of Springfield and Williston Seminary, Easthampton.
He began newspaper work in 1887 on the Springfield Republican, but soon after entered upon the study of law. In 1891 he became city editor of the Springfield Daily News, with which he remained the next 10 years. Then he went to the Worcester Post as a city editor, continuing until he came to Boston in 1904, associating himself with the American. Between the time he left Worcester and when he moved to Boston, Mr. Power did special work for New York papers. While with the American he was political reporter and later he "covered" the State House, as well as taking general assignments.
In October, 1911, he gave up newspaper work for a period, during which he went into the publicity business.
Mr. Power was at one time secretary of the Independent League and afterward during Mayor Curley's first term, was one of the Mayoral secretaries. In 1913 he was secretary of the Panama-Pacific Board of Exposition Managers for Massachusetts. In February, 1923, he was chosen chairman of the board of discipline and morals of the United States Veterans' Bureau of Boston. The he re-entered the newspaper field.
In January, 1893, Mr. Power was married to Jennie L. Hale of Springfield. He leaves his wife, one daughter; Miss Helen Power, and two sons; Hale Power, who is connected with the city Law Department, and Thomas C. Power, who is attached to the circulation department of the Boston Herald.
The funeral will take place tomorrow morning, with services in St. Aidan's Church, Brookline, at 9 o'clock.
