| Wickenburg Sun (Wickenburg, Arizona) Friday, July 23, 1948, p. 1 A Warrior Dies Charles F. Dawson Is Called After Lengthy Illness, Interment Here Wickenburg's American Legion post conducted military funeral services Tuesday afternoon for Charles Franklin Dawson, age 59, who passed away July 15 in the Will Rogers Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City, Okla., where he had been a patient for the past three months. Mr. Dawson came to Wickenburg six years ago for his health from his native Kansas. A veteran of World War I, he had been in ill health for many years, but had sufficiently recovered to be able to conduct the Antlers Steak House here for two years after his arrival in Arizona. Mr. Dawson and four of his brothers saw service during the first World War, all four of the brothers losing their lives in that conflict. Widow Survives At his bedside at the time of his death was the surviving widow, Mrs. Bertha Dawson, who had been with him for 10 days previous. She brought the remains here Sunday evening. A son, Charles, Jr., also survives. He is with the U.S. Navy somewhere in the Pacific and efforts to contact him were unsuccessful. A brother, Martin, was also at his bedside when he passed away. Three surviving sisters reside in California. Following the funeral services at the Wickenburg Chapel Tuesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, burial took place in the Wickenburg Cemetery. |
