Ludington Record-Appeal
Thursday, 1 May 1902

         CHARLES E. COMSTOCK of Branch township was so well
       known and had so many friends in this city that the
       announcement of his death in Butterworth hospital,
       Grand Rapids, came as a shock and as a personal sor-
       row to many of our leading business men. It was not
       known that he was seriously ill. He had trouble with
       his eyes, but no one supposed it was anything to
       cause more than the inconvenience which such afflic-
       tions always bring to the afflicted person. It seems
       however that last summer he was poisoned with poison
       ivy and has never recovered. He had been in Milwaukee
       for treatment, came home somewhat benefited and again
       went this time to Grand Rapids and supposed that he
       was being positively cured, but blood poisoning caused
       his death. He died on the 25 of April at three o'clock.
       His daughter EVA and son FRANK, from his home in this
       county, his daughter, BESSIE and son ALBERT, from
       Huntington, Ind., where ALBERT is a prosperous busi-
       nessman, his pastor, REV. CRIPPS and his friend and
       his neighbor, MR. SHOUP were present. He was buried
       by his children, by the side of his wife in Roanoke,
       Ind., the home of the family years ago. The funeral
       occurred on the 27th. MR. COMSTOCK was about 60 years
       old, had been a prominent, well-known citizen of his
       township, and was known and respected in this city
       and throughout the county. He was a member of the
       K.O.T.M. and carried a life benefit of $2,000.
