MRS. CHARLES S. KOOGLE
Mrs. Charles S. Koogle passed away at her home in Lebanon, Ohio, Wednesday, July 7th, at 2:40 o’clock. She was born January 29, 1844, near Franklin, Ohio, the daughter of Benjamin and Margaret Enyart. In 1862 she came to Lebanon to attend the National Normal University. Here she met Mr. Koogle, who married her two years later at her country home. They came immediately to Lebanon, where they have resided for over fifty years.
To them were born eight children; six of whom survive: Carrie, Effie, Emma, Roger, Anna and Florence. The last twenty years of her life were marked with intense suffering, but she was never known to complain. Her gentle, sweet spirit, her loving kindness, her untiring devotion to her husband and children, her wonderful cheerfulness, her beautiful character, will be a sweet benediction to all who knew her.
She was a loyal member of the Methodist Episcopal church from childhood, always a faithful attendant when her health permitted.
The funeral services were held at the home on East Main street, Friday morning at 10 o’clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. Asa I. Kestle.
