The Superior Times
February 5, 1910


              CHAS. M. GILLETT PASSES AWAY
              
              After an illness of more than four months
            during which his vitality had been completely
            exhausted by a struggle with typhoid fever
            complicated with other maladies, CHARLES MASON
            GILLETT, a well known young newspaper man, died
            Tuesday morning at 4:30 at his home in this city.
            From the beginning of his illness, which started
            with partial paralysis, there had been some fears
            felt as to the ultimate outcome, but death at
            this time was unexpected as he been thought to
            be improving within the past week.
              MR. GILLETT had been a resident of this city
            for nearly a score of years. Born Feb. 24, 1881,
            in Ogden, Ia., he came here with his parents in
            1892 after having lived in a number of cities,
            last at Windsor, Ont., and with the exception
            of the times he has been away in connection
            with his school or journalistic work has made
            his home here continuously ever since.
              First attending the Lincoln grade school at
            Central Park, he graduated and entered the old
            Broadway high school from which he went to the
            Superior normal, graduating there and entering
            the state "U" where he completed the work with
            the class of 1908. In vacation time while he
            was still pursuing his studies, MR. GILLETT en-
            gaged in newspaper work, starting as a reporter
            on the Superior Leader and afterward working in
            various capacities on other head of the lake
            papers. About a year ago he accepted the posi-
            tion of university editor at Madison, having
            charge of the various pamphlets issued, and
            was holding this (illegible sentence)...
              Immediately after he was stricken with the
            partial paralysis.
              MR. GILLETT was brought to the home of his
            parents in this city where he had been during
            his long illness. At school he was always
            identified with the various societies and
            other organizations which make for the better-
            ment of the individual and the institution.
            At the university he joined the Phi Kappa
            Sigma fraternity and at home he was a promi-
            nent member of the Nemadji lodge, Knights of
            Pythias.
              The funeral was held from the home of the
            parents 814 L avenue on Thursday afternoon,
            and was largely attended. The floral tributes
            were many and beautiful.
            Interment took place at Greenwood cemetery.
