A. Charlton The Brodhead Editor was well known in the State. Edwin A. Charlton, senior editor of the Brodhead Independent, died at his home in that city Saturday morning. Mr. Charlton ahd been something of an invalid for a number of years, and for the past two months has been confined to his room. The end came peacefully and the husband and father "fell asleep". Mr. Charlton was for years president of the Normal School at Platteville, and previous to his coming to Wisconsin was a teacher of high standing in the east. Thoroughly a scholar, thoughtul and retiring, only those who knew him best appreciated this wise counselor and true friend. He was prominent in Masonic circles and was for years an honored member of the State Press association. His loss will be felt wherever the Independent is known. But most of all does the cloud fall heaviest over the home where the devoted wife and idolized daughter are left alone. To Mrs. Charlton and Miss Winnifred will be extended the sympathy of many sad hearts throughout the state. The funeral was held Monday.
