OBITUARY.
EVERINGHAM.
Funeral services for Chas. L. Everingham were held at the Congregational Church Sunday afternoon at 3 o’clock, conducted by Rev. Geo. Hopkins.
The large attendance and the exceptionally beautiful floral offerings were a tribute of love from fellow employes of the Soo Railway Co. and of the citizens of this community in general for Mr. Everingham and an evidence of deep sympathy for the surviving family in their sorrow over the tragic loss of a loved member.
Fellow employes, representing the firemen, engineers, conductors and the Brotherhood of Railway trainmen served as pall bearers.
Mr. Everingham was born March 5, 1884, in Cresco, Ia. He came to Glenwood about sixteen years ago and worked faithfully as an employe of the bus line and in later years for the Soo Railway Co.
He was married June 5, 1912 to Miss Josephine Giddings.
He died last Thursday morning as the result of a fracture of the skull sustained in falling off from his train as it was entering Detroit.
Mr. Everingham was one of our best known young men. His even and cheerful disposition and his faithful attention to his duties always impressed the people of our city favorably. He was respected and loved, and his death is deeply mourned by all those who had learned to admire his many excellent qualities.
He is survived by his wife and two children, Hazel and Donald, by his mother, Mrs. Helen Everingham of Cresco, Ia., and by the following brothers and sisters: Mrs. M. Sherwood of Minneapolis, Mrs. J. M. Farnsworth of Cushing, Wis., Will Everingham of Big Lake, Mrs. Helen Wier and Mrs. F. W. Gifford of Kansas City, Mrs. McCook of Shell Rock, Ia., Frank of Ottawa, Kansas, Mrs. Mayme Hurley of Spokane, Mrs. S. R. Walter of Mahtowa, Minn.—Glenwood Herald.

Transcriber’s Note: Find a Grave shows he died Jan.1, 1917 which is incorrect. According to the above he died Dec., 1917.
