This community was shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Charles R. Ferwerda, 19 years old, who passed away at St. Anthony's hospital, Chicago, on Thursday afternoon, Dec. 6, 1928. Charles, who was apparently in the best of health, had come home to spend his Thanksgiving vacation with his loved ones, expecting to return to his school duties at the University of Illinois within a few days. Thanksgiving Day was a happy one for him spent with his parents and sisters and brothers at the home of his grandparents in Chicago, where lie also visited with his other grandmother at that time. He seemed to feel as well as usual until Saturday jwhen he was taken with severe pain and as he grew worse on Sunday he was taken to St. Anthony's hospital in Chicago and operated upon Sunday craning. Although a nurse, physicians and the best of medical skill was summoned his parents soon learned that; his fight for life would be a losing one and through the days that followed they were with "him. con* fitantJy cheering him and helping to inake.him eora/ort&blc until he passed peacefully away on Thursday after iKiOO, wtih a smile for the loved one* gathered around Wits. 1 Charles R. Ferwerda, son of Mr! and Mrs. Fred Ferwerda, was boraj *f9airaaiy IT, 1909,1tt Chltago. He attend*) school regularly and at the age vt thirteen graduated from the eighth grade at Sutton in the Waterman die-' trict school, after which he moved with' his parent* to this city where he en- .Ured the JConMHiBiCy high school, graduating with the class of 1926. H had only one more year at college, be 4Dga Jtaiftip aVjUfe University of Illi-i aoia^wherehe wife pursuing the dairy, manufacturers' course. Charles was a member of the Meth-: odist chureh having befcnbaptixed by Rev. Landon in 1966. He ifois always a good boy, having no bad habits, and never gave his parents one minute of .worry or heartache. Charles, who wari the oldest of six children, was always! thoughtful and obedient to his parents endeavring to assist in the work as: much as possible, and there remains, only comforting memories of the exemplary life of their boy to ease the aorrow of his parents. Besides his mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ferwerda, he leaves three sisters, Minnie, Be mice and Genevieve, two brothers, Raymond and Harry, many relatives and a host of friends by whom he was known and loved. ^ The death ef this ytfimg man ijfco 5 seemed to have such a bright future and successful life ahead, has chattered the dreams and hopes of his parents and shrouded the home in sorrow and mourning. Funeral services were held at the Meth&dist church on Sunday afternoon, Dec. 9, 1928 at 2 o'clock, with Rev. W. Bonham officiating. The myriads of flowers which made lovely his final resting place were a fitting tribute to the goodness of the young life which God has ealled to dwell with Him. He was carried to rest by the loving hands of six of his pals and schoolmates while ten of his housemates from Champaign were present in a Knrly to pay tribute to thSir departed friend. He was laid to rest in Woodland cemetery.
