Date: 3 OCT 1904; Paper: Salt Lake Telegram- Transcribed by Barb Ziegenmeyer CHARTER Many Roseville Citizens Pay Tribute to Beloved Friend When Masonic Funeral Services Are Held for Arlington R. Charter in Sacramento Yesterday Arlington R. Charter was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, May 3, 1874, and was called from this life at Wells, Nevada, July 10, 1927, after a serious illness extending over several months. At the age of five, he accompanied his parents to Winnemucca, Nevada, where he grew to young manhood and was united in marriage with Miss Blanche Minor of the same city. The first six years of their happy companionship were spent in Ogden, Utah, where he continued his services with the railroad, when they moved to Portland for thirteen years. In 1916 they took up their residence in Roseville, California, where he engaged in the mercantile business until failing health necessitated his retirement for the past few years. During all of his active participation as a trainman, as well as in his commercial and social engagements, he possessed the pleasing faculty of forming lasting friendships. Only those in the most intimate relationship realized how influential he was in materially assisting those in need. Kind and courteous, his sympathies were measureless, while his generosity found many ways of loving expression. In public matters, he had deep concern and his wise council was frequently sought in the promotion of community interests. For many years he had been identified with fraternal organizations, among which were the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, the Free and Accepted Masons, the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Roseville; the Scottish Rite of Sacramento, and the Islam Shrine of San Francisco. It was noteworthy that with all his engrossing business and social pursuits, he maintained an abiding devotion toward his loved ones which was enriched with each passing year. It was the consolation and inspiration of his honored parents that he corresponded each week until his faltering hand could no longer hold the pen that had recorded a thousand noble impulses of a courageous heart. To him the quiet fireside was a hallowed shrine where reflection on the day's toil gave promise of the peaceful slumber of one with a conscience void of offence toward all mankind. It was his constant delight to share in the common duties of the home, and whenever possible to lighten another's load thereby enriching the fine art of living for others. Always thinking of and doing for those in need, he developed a true helpfulness that had become second nature, and with it all countless lives were blessed. In his declining strength this sense of lending assistance was ever present, and only in the light of eternity might one reckon the breadth of his sympathy. Quiet and unassuming, he tried to do well his part of the world's work with the hope that other lives might enjoy a full share of the proffered rewards. Courtesy, fidelity, and integrity were the assets upon which an abiding confidence was securely built. To know him was to love him as a brother interested in the promotion of harmony and goodwill. His coveted place in the home and community life is made the richer by the memory of his unselfish deeds and the cheer silently bestowed by one who will be greatly missed. The parting of the ways came Sunday morning as the congregation in the adjacent church could be heard singing the great hymns of the world's Redeemer in whom he implicitly trusted during the long weeks of his tarrying on the border land while many friends awaited the will of his Maker. With every known hospital and medical care, blessed by the lives sacred to the patient sufferer, he responded to the certain summons, "Thy will, not mine, be done." A dutiful son, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a highly esteemed citizen has been called from the fleeting things of time, leaving a vacancy that reminds one and all that "Here we have no continuing city." The funeral services were held Thursday morning from the chapel of Miller and Skelton in Sacramento, Rev. Thomas H. Mee of the Roseville Methodist Church officiating, and Joseph Oates, Grand Master of the Roseville Masonic Fraternity, presenting the eulogy on behalf of Lodges. Miss Mildred Butler sang "Asleep In Jesus" and "I Worship Thee Sweet Will of God." Many friends from near and far were present with floral offerings worthy of the good man that had endowed the world so richly for more than a half century. Those who suffer an irreparable loss are the bereaved widow and daughter Eileen of Sacramento and son Arlington of Oakland, and the parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. I. Charter of Portland, Oregon; and one grandson and one sister, Mrs. Marian Amundsen of Portland. One brother, to whom he was greatly attached, was called in 1918. Those who bore the mortal remains to their final resting place beside those of his brother in East Lawn Cemetery in Sacramento were: Messrs William Taylor, E. B. Huskinson, T. H. Boswell, Robert Watson, Henry Schmidt, and W. S. Perry.
