Charles Ingels dies Saturday of long illness.
Last of family of early Bond County settlers, buried today
Charles Ingels, aged 87 years and a highly regarded respected resident of Greenville, died at his home, 618 Locust street, in this city, at 3:40 pm Saturday, of uremic poisoning with which disease he had suffered for seven years. The last two years of his life he had been greatly afflicted.
Funeral services will be held at 2:30 pm today at the Greenville Christian church, the pastor, Rev. R. T. Hickerson officiating, and burial was made at Hazel Dell cemetery. The Rev. George E. Cline, pastor of the F.M. church,assisted in the services. A quartet composed of Leroy Melton, Prof. H.J Long, Mrs. C.P. Bogess, and Mrs. C.C. Friddle sang. The pallbearers were six nephews, Logan Yeck, E.W. Merry, and Anson Ingels of Greenville, Ledger Denny of Sorento, and Will Ingels of Patoka and Harold Merry.
Mr. Ingels was a native of Ohio, having been born near Pomeroy, Meigs County, Ohio, Dec. 9, 1844, the son of Anson and Eleanor (Dusky) Ingels and was aged 87 years, 3 months, and 23 days. He was one of nine children, all of whom have preceded him in death. When a lad of six years, he moved with his parents from Ohio to Illinois, locating in Bond County. Here he grew to manhood, and on Feb. 11 1880, he was married at the M.E. church at Woburn to Miss Mary Catherine Smith and she survives him. The ceremony was performed by the Rev.W. VanCleve.
Mr. and Mrs. Ingels spent their entire married life in Bond County but have been residents of Greenville the major part of that time. They were the parents of two children, a son Frank, who died in infancy, and a daughter, Nelle Louise Ingels, an attorney with the Interstate Commission in Washington D.C. They also reared to adulthood a foster son, Edgar Ingels, a civil engineer, who died during the influenza epidemic in 1918 at New Orleans, La.
Mr. Ingels had been a member of the of the Greenville Christian church for more than 30 years. He was a man of very profound convictions of right and wrong and no one could cause him to swerve from what he thought was right. He was a lover of children and found much pleasure in their association. He was an advocate of prohibition and in the days of "temperance" in Greenville took an active part in ridding Greenville of saloons. During his incumbency as alderman in the Third ward in the late 90's, he was the only "temperance" alderman on the city council.
In 1905 Mr. Ingels bought the home on North Locust street and there he spent his declining days, serene in the consciousness of having walked in an upright manner through life.
Among those here from a distance to attend the funeral are Mrs. Geo. Floyd of University City, Mo., Mrs. Lyle Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Guy Rustameier and sons Jack and Billie of Terre Haute, Ind., Mr. and Mrs. Victor Kern of Clayton, Mo., Mr. and Mrs. Ledger Denny of Sorento, and Mr. and Mrs. Francis Wright of Mulberry Grove.
