The Portland Observer, Thursday, April 30, 1914
Suddenly stricken with apoplexy as he was driving past the home of Reuben 
Graft, two miles southeast of Frost’s corners, at about 10:00 o’clock Tuesday 
morning, Charles Ingalls, 57 years of age, fell from his buggy and lay 
unconscious in the road, in which condition he was picked up a few moments 
later and carried into the Graft home.  Death ensued at about 11:00 o’clock.  
Dr. R. W. Alton, who was summoned, pronounced death due to a severe apoplectic 
stroke.

Mr. Ingalls had been at the home of Vet Pryer Tuesday morning and was driving 
in the direction of his own home when stricken.  When he left the Pryer farm 
he was laughing and joking and appeared to be in the best of sprits.  Members 
of Mr. Ingalls’ family are inclined to believe the man’s death was hastened by 
the effects of a fall, Mr. Ingalls having been permanently injured in this 
manner about a year go.

On Tuesday evening the remains were removed to the home of Mrs. Harry Kelly, a 
daughter of deceased, where a short prayer service was conducted at 1:00 
o’clock this (Thursday) afternoon.  Funeral services were held at the Danby 
Grange hall an hour later, Rev. J. M. Stewart, of Portland, officiating, and 
burial was in Danby cemetery.  

Mr. Ingalls was born in Sebewa township January 21, 1857 but had been a 
resident of Danby township almost continuously since he was two years of age.  
Thirty-five years ago he was married to Philla Sowles of Roxand, who survives 
him.  The children are Clarence Ingalls of Rudyard, Montana, Mrs. Charles 
Underhill of Lansing, Mrs. Harry Kelly of Danby and Miss Marion Ingalls, 
living at home.  Deceased is also survived by an aged mother, Mrs. Lucinda 
Ingalls of Howell.
