Description : Death of Charles LaChapelle on 5/4/1881 of consumption.
Transcription : HOME REVIEWINGS. Charles LaChapelle, aged about 19 years, son of Mrs. Catherine Micho, died at the residence of Isaac Rose in this township, Monday morning last. "Charley," as he was called, had been overtaken by the quick consumption, and his confinement to home and bed had only been about three weeks. He knew that he was going to die, and was prepared to meet the solemn change. Sunday morning early, as he was sitting up in his chair, or lying in the same, he called his mother to remove the curtain from an east window so that he might the sun rise once more, saying that it would be the last time, as he should die before it rose again, and sure enough his prophesy was true, for the following morning at about three o'clock he passed away as in a calm sleep, there being not the slightest death struggle observable. The grief stricken mother, brothers and sisters of the deceased have the entire sympathy of the community in this their hour of affliction.
