- CHARLES COMLY STRINE
Brief Biographical Sketch From the Philadelphia Ledger
His Remains Will be Cremated and the Ashes
Will be Brought to This Place For Interment
Yesterday's Philadelphia Ledger says: Charles Comly Strine, who for nearly a half century was employed on newspapers in this city, died yesterday, in his seventy first year, at his home in Ridley Park, Delaware County. Apoplexy was the cause of death.
Mr. Strine was born at Milton, Northumberland County, Pa., on March 28, 1831. He came to this city nearly fifty years ago and was employed on the Press when it was founded by Colonel John W. Forney. He served in the 90th and 119th Pennsylvania Volunteers during the Civil war, and was made lieutenant for meritorious service on the field. After returning from the army he was employed on the Record, and later on the Public Ledger, retiring three years ago from active pursuits. He was an active member in Typographical Union, No. 2, and also a member of the 119th Pennsylvania Volunteers' Association. He leaves a widow and two sons, Charles W. and Robert P. Strine. The funeral will be held on Monday. The remains will be cremated and the ashes taken to Milton for interment.
