C. jF, Idd'mgs Passes
Away this 'Morning.
Charles F. Iddings, for many yenrs
one of North Platte's most ener
gotic and successful business men,
passed away at his homo at two o'cIock
this morning. It mny bo said that death
camo as n relief to an unfortunate man;
for during tho last seven yoars of life
his mentality had been seriously af
fected, and ho had been incapacitated
for business.
That one so highly respected should
havo boon bo unfortunately stricken
when ho neared tho summit of n most
successful business career, brought sad
ness to all acquaintances, and during
that long period of montal incapacity
our sympathies constantly went out to
him and his family. Tho loyal, tho
loving and the steadfast devotion of tho
wife to tho .stricken husband, has been
greater than can bo expressed in words
a dovotion that never wavered,
that never voiced itself In com
plaint; a bond of affection that only
death itself could break.
G. F. Iddmgs came from Warren,
Ohio, in 1878 to Sidney, whore he was
employed as clerk in tho oflico of the
Salisbury transportation company which
ran a lino of stages from Sidney to the
Black Hills. In the winter of 1880-81 he
came t6 North Platto and in company
with David Cash took ovor tho Pacific
Hotel. Later they leased tho atockynnls
and also oporated n moat marKet. A
year or two later the firm dissolved and
Mr. Iddings engaged in tho coal and
lumber business. In this he was sig
nally successful and in time established
branch yards and elevators at Julesburg,
Sutherland and Horshoy. He .also pur
chased the North Platto flour mill which
ho operated in connection with the
lumber and grain business; and became
one of tho leading business men of the
west part of the state.
Mr. Iddings was equally prominent in
politics, and was recognized as ono of
the republican lenders of western Ne
braska. On one occasion ho was elected
presidential elector, and could havo
secured other positions of political per
fnrment had he so desired.
As a business man he was pro
gressive; he was a leading spirit
in all movements for the advancement
of North Platte, and his finances were
as rnnidlv forth comintr for this nur-
Koso as was the work of his hend and
ands. In every particular, Mr. Iddings
was a most desirable and j'stoemed
citizen.
When Mr. Iddings becamo incapaci
tated, the business was incorporated
under the name of tho C. F. Iddings
Go,, Mrs. Iddings retaining a largo
block bf tho stock, and tho extensive
business has since been conducted under
that namo with It. L. Baker as mana
ger. Mr. Iddings wns prominent in Mas
onry nnd was a member of the several
branches of that ordor. Ho was a
member of tho Elks, and nlso of other
frnternnl ordora. Ho carried insurance
policies nggiegating ovor $50,000.
Berefl are a wife, two daughters nnd
two sons.
Tho funeral will be held from th
homo at 2:30 Sunday afternoon.
