Marion, Dec. 31.—“Uncle Charlie” is dead, and the little, old, bent figure has vanished forever from the shoot ing gallery on the vacant lot on Main street. This adopted son cf Marion was borne to a grave in Rose Hill Cemetery by Yileh With" bow(!d 'heads ‘and sad hearts who had learned to like and respect the man who had chosen to spend his last years here, and showed so much appreciation for the kindnesses shown him. ^Several years ago a carnival was stranded here, and “Uncle Charlie” Ha'yn es, who ran a shooting gallery, was one of the derelicts which came to anchor and found a safe harbor in Marion. He set up his shooting, gallery on a vacant lot on Main street and became a familiar and pathetic figure. He did not seem to get much custom, but he stayed on, and little by little, he got acquainted with the men of the town. He was rather a mysterious charac ter, for without being exactly secre tive, he was very reticent,x and little wa s ever learned of his history. He hadr always been a show man, but there was never anything of the tough about him. He rented a room where he carried on his housekeeping, and Sundays he spent mostly seated cn a bench on the public square. One Sunday a member of the Men’s Bible class of . the First Methodist church, on his way to Sunday school, stepped and asked “Uncle Charlie” to go with him. His invitation was ac cepted, and “Uncle Charlie” became one of the most devout members of the class. Amid the good fellowship he found there, hi 8 mannei expanded and his character showed up well. He wax mild and gentle, considerate and honest, and became sN favorite with his class mates. Some months ago he fell ill, and was taken to a hospital, where he disclosed the fact that he was any thing but a charity case. Besides be ing able to pay all his expenses, he made a will leaving an amount said to be in exces? of $5,000, all of which he had made running “hot dog” stand s and shooting galleries, to the .Bible class whichd had taken him in ant given him a companionship he prizec very highly. “Uncle Charlie” did not die then but returned to the room w r hich was his home, and, too feeble to walk the block to the church, hi s friends came in their cars and took him , so he was able to go until nearly the very last Just a few days before Christmas which would have been hi g seventy- seventh birthday, while the earth was covered with a snowy mantle, the tired eyes closed and the life of mys tery ended. It is not thought he had any rela tives, a s he never mentioned them, and showed no concern for anyone or plkce, but his friends here, and the town where he built up a worthwhile life after - bein^ stranded at the age of three score and ten.
