"Fairfield Ledger", June 25, 1868

DIED—In this city on the 9th of June 1868, after a painful illness of nine days, borne with remarkable patience and fortitude, Charles H., only son of Hiram V. and Laura SHORT, aged 13 years and 11 months.

We are rarely called to follow to the grave a youth combining so many traits of interest and promise; and so much endeared to all who knew him. Truly, “Death loves a shining mark.”--- Although “dead he yet speaketh,” and may this afflictive Providence be sanctified, and his virtues and example be copied by all the youth of our land.
