DEATH CLAIMS CHARLES SIEBERT End Comes Sunday to Prominent Local Man-Long with Bloomington Milling Company Charles Henry Siebert, age 80 years, died yesterday morning at 6:15 o'clock at his home on West 6th Street. He had been ill for the past two years and confined to his bed for about five weeks. A year ago he underwent a serious operation at the City Hospital and has never fully recovered. Old age hastened his death. Mr. Siebert was born in Virginia where he lived until he was nine years old, when his parents died. At the age of 19 years he entered the Union army and fought all through the Civil War. After the war he went to Corydon, Indiana, and 45 years ago he came to Bloomington where he started working for the Monroe Milling Company. He learned the milling business, and 13 years later he bought an interest in the Bloomington Milling Company in partnership with W. S. Collins and James Karsell. He continued in this enterprise until five years ago when he retired. Mr. Siebert was an ardent Republican and an active member of the Christian Church. He belonged to the Odd Fellows and its auxiliary, the Rebecca lodge. He is survived by his wife and two grandchildren, Charles Siebert of California and Miss Edith Stoner. His son, Tally Siebert, who died four years ago with tuberculosis at his home in the west, won widespread fame as the author of "Casey Jones." There was also a daughter who died about sixteen years ago. The funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 PM at the residence in charge of the Rev. Lloyd H. Miller of the First Christian Church here. Interment at Rose Hill Cemetery. The pallbearers will be Carl Stogsdill, George Osborne, Edward Fowler, Alva Parks, A. O. Henry and Dr. Whetsell.
