Death of Charles H. Shuler.

  Charles Henry Shuler died last Friday, Dec. 23, 1904, at the residence of his sister, Mrs. George Pemberton, on Ninth street, Lockport, Ill., aged 59 years, 3 months, 7 days. Death resulted from dropsy, after a long period of suffering.

  Mr. Schuler was born Sep. 16, 1845, within a block of the place where his life ended. He was a veteran of the civil war, serving in Co. I, 19^th [9] Ill. Cavalry under Captain H.M. Jenner. Following the war he became a boatman on the I. & M. canal and followed the fortunes of life on the old waterway until his final illness prevented further activity.

  The decedent was never married. He leaves one brother, John Shuler, and four sisters, Mrs. Eliza Pemberton, Mrs. Mary Keeler, Mrs. Agnes Donaldson and Mrs. Carrie Hill, all of Lockport, except the latter, who resides at Pontiac.
