RESOLUTIONS
Charles S. Hernly, a member of this bar, and former clerk of the Henry circuit court, died at this home in Newcastle on Saturday, April 18, 1914, age 57 years.
Mr. Hernly was born and lived his entire life in Henry county. His ancestors were sturdy Dutch, his great-great-grandfather, Ulrich Hoernli, having immigrated from Switzerland in 1759 and settled in Pennsylvania, where the family remained until 1844, when Henry Hernly, father of the subject of this memorial, came to Wayne county, Indiana, and in 1855 to Henry county, and engaged in the milling business on Little Blue river two miles north of this city. Here the son, Charles S., was born, who later attended the district school, followed by studies in Newcastle and Spiceland academies.
Mr. Hernly entered the law offices of Brown & Polk in 1876, to study law. He diligently applied himself to these studies, and was admitted to the bar in 1879; at once entering into the active practice of his profession in partnership with Samuel H. Brown. This firm enjoyed a large business until its dissolution, following the election of Mr. Hernly as clerk of the circuit court in 1890. He took this office in October, 1892, and served four years with marked ability and satisfaction to bench, bar and the people who had business with that office. It being generally conceded that no better administration of this office has ever been had than was given to it by Mr. Hernly.
While he was clerk, Mr. Hernly with Eli B. Phillips and Eugene H. Bundy, purchased a small telephone plant then being built in Newcastle, and after completing it and greatly extending it, including toll lines to Mooreland and Muncie, sold it to the Bell telephone interests.
To Mr. Hernly belongs the undisputed honor of having been the public-spirited citizen in Henry county, and it is universally conceded that he did more to improve the city of Newcastle than anyone else, having borne a leading part in the location and up-building of every industry which the city now possesses. His talents in this line were widely recognized, and he was often employed in other cities and states to manage and lead campaigns for the promotion of large industries.
In 1898, Mr. Hernly was elected chairman of the Republican state committee of Indiana, and re-elected in 1900 piloting his party to marked victories in both campaigns by his vigor, industry and enthusiasm.
In 1905, he conceived the plan of building an electric railway from Indianapolis to Toledo, Ohio, with branches from Newcastle to Muncie, and Richmond. After overcoming seemingly insurmountable difficulties this road was completed from Indianapolis to Newcastle under his direction; and was later extended to Muncie and now forms a part of the Union Traction system, the largest interurban railway system in Indiana.
As an advocate, Mr. Hernly possessed marked vigor and ability, presented a client's cause to court or jury with force and conviction, and enjoyed the highest respect and esteem of his fellow practitioners.
He was kind and generous to the needy, and no appeal by any worthy person or for any worthy enterprise was ever made to him in vain. He possessed a sunny, jovial disposition and finest social qualities. His dominant note was optimism; to him the sun never ceased to shine, even in the face of seeming disasters. He was a tender and filial son, a devoted husband and an intelligent father; his devotion to his family being marked by highest ideals.
He was a faithful friend of little children, and never missed an opportunity to recognize them and add to their pleasure and enjoyment.
As a neighbor and friend he was thoughtful and faithful.
His loss to this community is irreparable.
