Notes - Obituary:
Death of Mr. C. J. Swain
Mr. C. J. Swain departed this life on last Friday evening, at about six o'clock, at his residence on Washington avenue, after an illness of many years, the last sixteen months of which he has been confined to his bed. The cause of death was paralysis.
Mr. Swain has been a resident of this section for many years, and has been in the mercantile business for the past five or six years at Titusville, which business he was still conducting at the time of his death. Although a sick man for so many months, he still retained a great interest in his business and the political situation of the State and county.
The funeral services was held at the Baptist church, Sunday afternoon at four o'clock, being conducted by Rev. J. G. Parsons, with interment in the Titusville cemetery.
The funeral arrangements were in charge of Undertaker A. Froscher and son, and the following acted as pallbearers: Messrs. B. C. Edwards, R. L. Baldwin, C. H. Whitaker, C. J. Denham, W. B. Hall and Harry Wilson.
As a token of the esteem in which Mr. Swain was held, the Baptist church was unable to accommodate all who attended the service, and many were compelled to leave for lack of room.
Although flowers are extremely scarce at this time of year, there was an abundance of them at the funeral of this esteemed citizen of Titusville, and the grave was completely hidden by the profusion of flowers sent by loving friends.
Mr. Swain had passed his three score and ten, as he was in his eighty-third year, and is survived by a large number of relatives as follows:
Mrs. C. J. Swain, Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Swain, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Swain, Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Swain, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Swain, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Goldsmith, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Swain and baby, Mr. and Mrs. J. R. Wriker, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. R. Walker, Rev. Charles N. Walker; Misses Pearl, Jewel, Ruby and Emerald Swain, Docia Goldsmith, Frieda Walker; Masters Hans Walker, and Gordon Goldsmith.
Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Swain and family, Henry, Martha Lee, Mary Anna and baby, were not present at the funeral.
