CHARLES H. SPALDING IS DEAD FOLLOWING ILLNESS OF MONTH
Charles H. Spalding, for twelve years, sporting editor of the Fort Wayne Sentinel, and one of the best known newspaper men in the state, died last night at 10:30 o'clock at St. Joseph's hospital, aged 51 years. Death was due to complications and followed an illness of but four weeks.
Mr. Spalding was taken ill a month ago, a few days after the death of his aged mother, and his condition became serious almost immediately. A week ago he was removed from his home at 908 Columbia avenue, to this hospital, and his condition has been critical for several days. He rallied a trifle on Monday, but later on in the day he again grew worse and sank gradually until death came.
Born in Kentucky, Mr. Spalding was educated and spent his early life in that state. Later he moved to Indianapolis, and his real start in the newspaper business was made in that city as a member of the staff of the old Indianapolis Sentinel. Later he owned and operated a newspaper in Eaton, Ohio. About thirteen years ago he located in Fort Wayne and for about a year was employed by the Journal-Gazette. Twelve years ago he became a member of the Sentinel staff and continued with that paper until his death.
Mr. Spaulding was an authority on all features of the sporting work and as sport editor of the Sentinel became well known in all of the cities in the Central league. His writings were always interesting and in his articles he incorporated ideas which were always original and instructive. About two years ago he took up photography and since then had served as staff photographer of the Sentinel, in addition to continuing as sporting editor. His death will be mourned by hundreds of friends and comes as a distinct loss to the newspaper fraternity of this city.
Surviving, besides the grief-stricken wife, are two daughters - Miss Oliver, who is teaching school at Lake City, Minn., and little Jane, who lives at home. There is also a brother, T. W. Spalding , of Cincinnati.
Funeral arrangements will be made later.
