Charles Rivers Died on Monday
Born in Newburgh
He taught over 60,000 persons how to Dance During his career as Instructor
Charles Howell Rivers, for over 60 years a prominent teacher in dancing in Brooklyn, died Monday of heart failure superinduced by old age, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Marcus Downing, 54 Gouvereur Avenue, Rutherford, N.J. after several months illness.
Mr. Rivers was born in Newburgh, N.Y., in 1830 and at the age of 16 went to Brooklyn. After perfecting himself in dancing he established a school at Gothic Hall, then on Washington Street, and the principal place for assemblies in the early days of Brooklyn. It has long since been destroyed.
He established Rivers' Academy of Dancing, located at Court and State Streets, some 60 years ago, and continued there until 10 years ago, when he gave up public teaching and devoted himself to farming, having a country place at New City, Rockland County. He did not give up his profession, but taught privately and in various schools in this community to the last. In his long professional life he is said to have taught over 60,000 persons in his academy, and ten times that number came under his supervision at various times. For 40 years he had an Annual Exhibition In The Old Academy Of Music.
Mr. Rivers taught many professionals their methods, and invented many styles of dancing for them and society folk. He produced a hundred figures for the cotillon and was the founder of the American Society for Professional Dancers.
Mr. Rivers had been for many years a member of Adytum Lodge, F. and A.M., and leaves six sons, Charles G., H. Fletcher, William Pitt, Martin P., Frank Aubrey and Frederick Clarence, most of them dancing masters, and two daughters, Mrs. Marcus Downing and Mrs. Henry Dutcher. His wife, Maria Hoffman Phillips, died a year ago. [Newburgh Journal, Feb 1, 1911 - Sub. by K.T.]
