Death of Charles Byrne
Obit. - Santa Cruz Surf, 1/22/1912, P 8 Col 5
Death of Charles B. Byrne
In the passing of Charles Benjamin Byrne, one of the best known, honored and solid citizens was taken away from the community.
Death came suddenly and his many friends were unprepared for the sad intelligence which conveyed the news of his death.
Many had been greeted by him in his usual pleasant manner on Saturday, he was as well as usual.
On Saturday evening, with his wife and daughter, he was quietly spending the time around the family fireside, when unexpectedly he was taken with a spell of coughing and in a short time had passed away. A physician and relatives were summoned, but arrived too late. Death was caused by heart trouble. The son, Dr. Don Byrne, arrived home from town just after the father had passed on, which was about two o’clock.
Mr. Byrne came to Santa Cruz from Michigan, his native state, about 35 years ago, and for many years was a leading merchant a member of the large hardware firm of Heath & Byrne. He was also for a long time the capable city superintendent of waterworks, under several different administrations.
About thirty years ago he married Miss Florence Washburn a member of one of the California pioneer families and has been a husband devoted to his home, wife and children.
In earlier days he was prominent in the social life of the community, and many remember him in the days of the Aonian Society. He had marked dramatic talent and often appeared in leading roles in productions by that organization, which then was so prominent in the life of the town.
In political affiliations he was a Democrat and was interested in the political life of the State and nation.
In fraternal circles he held membership in the Odd Fellows, under whose auspices the funeral will be held.
Mr. Byrne made an extended visit to Eastern friends and his boyhood home last year, which he greatly enjoyed.
Mr. Byrne leaves three children, Mrs. Helen Cornell and Dr. Don W. Byrne of this city and Mrs. Marion Russell of Plainfield, NJ.
He was an uncle of George G. and Walter C. Byrne of this city and he had been associated with them since his retirement from the superintendency of the city water works.
The funeral services were held this afternoon at the family home on Mission street, the R. J. B. Orr officiating.
