The following brief story of Mr. Hitchler's life was sent to this office:

Charles Washington Hitchler was born Jan 1, 1863, on a farm near Metz, Iowa. At the place of his birth he grew to manhood, and spent his life there, all save the last five years.

In the year 1911 he went to Perry Iowa where his honest and energetic business dealings, won for him both a financial success and many true and worth friends. His progress in business was checked in February of this year, when he was forced to give up his work and consult specialists because of failing health.

He went to Rochester, Minn. where he was operated upon March 20th. Not yet recovered from the serious operation, he returned to Newton, Iowa in July where friends and relatives assisted him in his efforts to regain his health. But after many months of patient suffering he passed away at the Grace Sanatorium in Newton, Iowa, Sunday morning Oct 15, 1916.

Mr. Hitchler was the third son born to William and Nancy Hitchler. His father, William Hitchler, four sisters, Ida, Alla, Sarah, Jane; three brothers, John, Elsmer and George have preceded him to the other world; leaving one brother, M. A. Hitchler, of Metz, Iowa, and two sisters, Mary Broomhall of Fullerton, Nebr., and Nora Price, of Soldier Kansas to comfort the aged mother in her sad bereavement.

Mr. Hitchler was a loyal supporter of the I. O. O. F. lodge. He was also a loyal follower of the Christian faith. His morals and standards of life; his honest straight forward dealings; his unceasing effort to do the right thing first last and all the time are the standards used in the attainment of his success in the business life which alone are characteristics of a true Christian character. ~ A Jasper County Newspaper.
