Obituary- Binns, Charles 2

Charlie Binns Laid to Rest Last Friday
The body of Charles R. Binns, whose death occurred at 10 p.m., Monday, Oct. 14, at Nitro, W. Va., arrived on the early morning train last Friday ahead of the expected arrival, and was laid to rest Friday afternoon in Rossville cemetery.

Rev. Paddleford, of the North Topeka Methodist church, and an old friend of the family, conducted the open air services at the cemetery and was assisted by Rev. Shaffer of the Rossville M.E. Church. Through the interest of Gov. Capper, a firing squad from the Home Guards of Topeka were present and gave the dead boy the army burial service.

Although not much time was given for spreading news of the funeral arrangements, a large number were present to pay their last respects.

Through the request of the mother, the obituary is withheld until next week to be published with Charlie's picture from the latest photo she had of her son.

The mother and sisters have derived much comfort from the following letter, written by Charlie's Captain, who had taken great interest in him:

Nitro W. Va., Oct. 16, 1918
Mrs. Martha V. Binns
Rossville, Kansas
