(July 4, 1965) AN OLD COWBOY, CHARLIE DEMICK, TAKES THE LAST BIG RIDE Charlie Demick, the man who oitomized the Modoc cowboy throughout the present 20th century, is dead at the age of 91. The old buckaroo passed away at the Modoc Medical Center Tuesday morning following a confinement there for the past three months. He was in a coma during his final hours. Charlie earned his reputation though a combination of rugged outdoor cussedness coupled with a longevity that saw most of all his contemporaries ride on long ago. "I haven't got an enemy in the world," he often repeated in recent years. "The reason is, I've outlived 'em all." Charlie was born in Smartsville, California in November, 1874 at the age of 14 he had long since left his birthplace and was a top hand bronc buster drifting from ranch to ranch. By the time he was 17 he was straw boss for the large herd of Miller and Lux cattle empire of northwestern Nevada, and in charge of 100 square miles of that domain before he was 26. In January of 1911 he was a member of the posse that went searching for a band of Indians who murdered four sheep herders at Red Rock. He missed the final attack, however, because he was in charge of the horse remuda that supplied the posse. In 1916 he was in charge of Union Land Company whose holdings he managed in Modoc until 1933 under the directive of H. Moffitt who retained him after the original company was dissolved. In 1936 he became manager of the Corporation ranch and also marrried Ora Hawkins in San Francisco. In Alturas, Charlie became a permanent fixture in the Alturas rodeo and other horse connected events. Only last summer, at the age of 90, he joined with Tom Ivory in leading the Fandago parade - on horseback. Demick continued in ranching and served as a horseback "advisor" until he was well past 80. Survivors include his wife, Ora, one daughter, Mrs. Patricia Cantrall of Likely and three grandchildren. Interment was in the Likely Cemetery today.
