One of the oldest residents of the St. Charles community, Mrs. Charles Huglin, died at the Madison county Memorial hospital in Winterset last Wednesday, April 4. She was 92 years of age and had been ill for the preceding 10 weeks.

She is survived by six sons, Andrew J. Huglin of Pittsburg, Pa., Fred W. Huglin of St. Charles, Henry E. Huglin of Omaha, Carl A. Huglin of Ft. Dodge, George J. Huglin of Buffalo Lake, Minn., and August R. Huglin of St. Charles; three daughters, Mrs. George Brown of Winterset, Mrs. James Luke of Winterset, and Mrs. Warren Conway of Whittier, Calif.
