CHARLES SCHEFFLER, SR.
----------
Died Yesterday Afternoon -- Funeral
to Be Held Saturday Morning.
----------
As was mentioned in yesterday's Democrat, Charles Scheffler, Sr., a prominent resident of Shelby township, died Wednesday afternoon, April 18, at half-past two o'clock. His death was due to senility. He has not had good health for several months and has been failing rapidly lately. He was born near Cassel, in Prussia, seventy-nine years ago last January. As a young man with no capital but a determined spirit and good health, he came to America, arriving in the land of opportunity in the fifties. On his arrival at Cincinnati, Mr. Scheffler had but one dollar and fifty cents. Soon after, he came to Shelby county and settled here on the farm in Shelby
township where he resided at the time of his death.Thursday, April 19, 1906
