A Probable Fatal Accident
On yesterday about the middle of the afternoon, Charley Irvine, a worthy young man who lives in the vicinity of Fairville, was in company with Mr. Harvey Tucker, driving some hogs this way on the road between Miami and Fairville. Mr. Irvine spurred his horse and dashed forward to turn some of the hogs which had started in the wrong direction, when his horse stumbled over one, and fell, throwing the rider with such force that it was thought his skull was fractured.
up to about the hour of half past seven o'clock last evening he was still unconscious and there was serious feat the had had received injuries from which he would hardly recover.
Charley Irvine is about twenty-two years of age, and is a son of Mr. Robert Irvine, who in turn is a son of James Irvine, one of the oldest, best known and most respectable families in Saline county.
For his industry, his probity of character, and his uniform character as a gentleman and good citizen, Charley Irvine has stood first class in the community where he was raised. This accident which has put his life in serious peril, casts a gloom over all who know him and prized his general moral worth as a man, a neighbor and citizen.
LATER
At about the hour of half past eight this forenoon, a Progress reporter made inquiry over the telephone line, and learned from Mr. Edwards at Fairville, that Mr. Irvine had fully recovered consciousness, and was considered a good deal better. Dr. Talbott is the physician attending him.

C. J. Irvine, well known auctioneer, stockman and former sheriff of Saline County, died about 7 o'clock Friday evening at his home, 124 North Brunswick, following a long illness. His first serious illness was in 1945, however, he was up and able to transact business much of the time until December 25, 1946. Since that time he had been confined to his bed.
The Baptist Church was filled to capacity Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock with relatives and friends of Charles J. Irvine, assembled for the service in his memory. Mrs. C. L. Fichthorn, organist, played softly appropriate music, including old hymns, before the service, which was in charge of Dr. W. M. Taylor, church pastor.
Dr. Taylor opened the service by reading the twenty-third Psalm, Psalm 46:1, II Timothy 4:7, and a prt of the 14th chapter of John, following with prayer. The organist played "Ave Maria" by Schubert.
Dr. Taylor in his short talk said in part:
Charles Jefferson Irvine, a son of Nancy Shaw and Robert R. Irvine early Saline residents, was born February 14, 1871 at the old Irvine homestead six miles north of Marshall. This land had been entered from the government by his grand father and has since been owned by members of the family. Mr. Irvine received his education in the Fairville Academy. He was married to Nellie Van Lear Davis August 11, 1891.
Surviving are his wife and five daughters, Mrs. Raymond King, Mrs. Russell Nicholas, and Mrs. Ed Brandecker of Marshall, Mrs. E. A. Markey of Kansas City, and Mrs. Nelle Laidlaw of Dayton, Ohio; six grandchildren, William Brandecker, Russell Irvine Nicholas, John Laidlaw, Mrs. Earl H. Smith, Mrs. Thomas Hedrick and Jan Markey; one great grandson, William Earl Smith; five sisters, Mrs. Maud Hawkins, Mrs. Warren Goddard and Mrs. Keith Goodwin of Marshall, Mrs. George Parrish of Hollywood, California, and Mrs. J. L. Hawkins of Logansport, Ind.
Mr. Irvine had engaged in farming and stock raising all his life, dealing especially in fine mules. He was a livestock auctioneer having sales in Saline and adjoining counties. He had been an exhibitor of mules at the American Royal, and at the Missouri, Iowa and Illinois State Fairs and won many blue and grand champion ribbons on his red sorrel mules.
Mr. Irvine was a charter member of the Saline County Farm Bureau, had served as president of the Saline County Sales Company, served as a director in the State Farm Bureau Federation 1930-31, served as president of the Saline County Breeders Association. During World War I he served as a precinct chairman of the Fourth Liberty Load Drive. He had been a member of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce for years. He was a member of the board of the Robert Leigh School for several years.
In 1941 Mr. Irvine was elected sheriff of Saline County, serving one term of four years. At this time he and Mrs. Irvine moved to Marshall for residence.
In any issue for the betterment of his community he was active and his judgement was sought and could be relied upon.
Mr. Irvine was a member of the Baptist Church, a truly active member. For twenty years he was superintendent of th Sunday School of the Fairville Baptist Church. For two years he had served as superintendent of the Sunday School of the Marshall Baptist Church, resigning the first of this year.
Mr. Irvine was a Shriner in the Masonic Order.
Few men in Saline County were better known than Mr. Irvine. He was liked because of his friendly and jovial personality, held in esteem because of his sterling character. Such characters wield an influence not te be estimated. His home was recognized for hospitality where his friends and friends of his wife and daughters always found a cordial welcome. In his family relationships he was devoted to the point of indulgence.
"In the passing and home-going of Charles Jefferson Irvine our community and county lose a citizen of the first rank, the church loses a faithful member, this good Saline County family loses a devoted husband, father and grandfather.
"I find it difficult to refrain from eulogizing as good a friend as Mr. Irvine proved himself to be to me and to this church. The family, however, has requested that there be no lengthy eulogy.
"The most precious bequest that any man can leave his family is an inheritance of precious memories and a good name. I am sure that the members of the Irvine family will be inspired throughout their days by many precious memories of deeds of kindness, faithfulness to appointed service, consideration for the needs and rights of others, careful attention to the little proprieties that are such a true indication of character.
"This should be a service of thanksgiving. How fortunate Mr. Irvine was to have been permitted to live over so long a span of years, blessed as he was with a strong body and with almost unlimited energy. How richly blessed Mr. and Mrs. Irvine have been to have had each other's companionship through more than a half century. For these and the other blessing we join with this family in offering of humble thanks to God.
"How wonderful it is to have the consolation and encouragement of our Christian faith at a time like this. Indeed, it is just for such an hour as this that we have cultivated our faith through the years. People once feared death. Then there came one who by his strong, clean life, and by the truth which he spoke, and by his sacrificial death, and by his victory over the grave abolished the fear of death and brought life and immortality out into the full light of day where we could believe in and be strengthened by them. Now when death claims a member of our family even though there is a poignant sense of loss we can sing with another. "And we know that if the earthly house of this tabernacle be dissolved we have a building, a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens.
"We confidently believe, too, that God is our loving Father and that He will not forsake us amidst the bewildering experience of life. He is our Father while the day lasts, and He is still our Father during the shades of night. He is our Father in life and He will be with us in death. He has said to others and he says to us, "Fear not, for I am with thee, be not dismayed for I am thy God, I will help thee. I will strengthen thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness."
"We believe further that God's abounding grace is sufficient always, and is make perfect in our weakness. There is never a need or a crisis for which He will not give us adequate resources to turn what otherwise would be defeat to glorious victory."
"He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater.
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase.
To added affliction, he addeth His mercy.
To multiplied trials, his multiplied peace."
Interment was at Ridge Park Cemetery. The active pallbearers were Russell Irvine Nicholas, Earl H. Smith, John Laidlaw, Thomas Hedrick, I. G. Dyer and Clyde Perryman.
