Saturday, 1 April 1905---GADSDEN EVENING JOURNAL
Charles N. Alford, one of the best known and most popular young men of Gadsden, died at the home of his mother on Walnut street at 11 o'clock.
Mr. Alford had been ill for a long time and only recently returned from Colorado, where he went in search of health.
The deceased was about 30 years old. He was the son of Mrs. E.P. Alford and was reared in Guntersville, the old family home. A few years ago he came to Gadsden and established himself as a civil engineer and built up a considerable property interest. He leaves a mother, a brother and several sisters.
The funeral arrangements have not been announced, but it is likely that the funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon.
