C.E. Eades
Aug. 27, 1853 - Feb. 25, 1910

Charles E. Eades, after an illness of four months from a complication of ailments that baffled and resisted all treatment, died at his home at 5 o'clock last Friday evening, the immediate cause of death being uremic poisoning, which developed in the latest stages of the illness.

The deceased had been in various mercantile enterprises here for 30 years and his was the longest business life in town. A citizen and resident of the county, he was known and respected throughout its bounds. His energies, time and talents were always engaged in every movement that was calculated to inspire and ennoble; his life worthy of the highest emulation.

He was a member of the Baptist Church and was a prominent character in all its movements, being clerk of the Daviess County Association and moderator of the Muhlenberg County Association, in both positions showing judgment, efficiency and strength.

Thoughtful, quiet, retiring, but coupled therewith were zeal, activity and determination and on all questions his position was made known and his position was right. His private, business and official life all on one true basis, he won and held his friends.

Rev. W.J. Mahoney, pastor, conducted the funeral service at the Baptist Church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, the services being impressive and consoling. Interment was in Evergreen Cemetery. His wife, two daughters: Miss Miriam Eades and Miss Lillian Eades, and one son: Mr. Howard Eades, are the surviving members of his family, and there is a wide connection of relatives.
