OBITUARY: Charles Kathan, -1904

Mr. Charles Kathan, father of Aldermen Kathan of this city, and grandfather of ex-mayor Kathan, died at the residence of his son on Friday morning, last at the hour of 7:45, at the age of eighty-seven years, two months and two days.

Mr. Kathan had long been an invalid, having scarcely been out of doors for the last year and had been totally blind for five years. He had lived for years in the home of his son, being kindly cared for by the family. He was born near Burlington, Vt., removed to New York early in life, residing in that state until 1856, when he came to Hardin, Clayton Co., and there remained many years engaged as a mechanic, which was his occupation through life.

Mr. Kathan was twice married, and reared a family of two sons and three daughters, only one of whom was unable to be present at his funeral.

Brief funeral services were held at the home on the afternoon of the day of his death, conducted by the Rev. W. S. Ralph, and the remains were taken on Saturday morning to his old home in Clayton county for his burial.
