--- "Charles H. Sumner, son of Greenberry Sumner, was born in the neighborhood near Hortonville, Hamilton County, Indiana, on January the First, 1862. He died at his home north of Westfield July the 15th, 1915, at the age of 53 years, 6 months and 14 days.
He was united in marriage to Emma Shaul, August the 11th (corrected to 14th), in the year 1880. To this union was born three boys, Max, Lant, and Greenberry, -all of whom have grown to mature manhood.
The serious illness which had so fatal a termination in the last ten days of his life, had its beginning more than a year ago and has been a constant source of uneasiness and alarm to his family and friends...
The most of his life has been spent on the farm, all, perhaps, except the last six or seven years in which he had been engaged as a commerical traveller for the Anderson Spring Steel Fence and Wire Company...
Charley, the name by which we all knew him,...
Charley will be missed. His ever ready counsel and affection can never be replaced in his home which he loved so dearly. His ever ready smile and words of good will, will leave an impression on our memories which will never fade. He leaves to mourn his loss, his mother, one sister, a wife, three sons and his four grandchildren, whom he loved so well, and a host of friends and relatives..."
