    Obituary
    Name of paper is unknown. The heading on the paper reads "Amsterdam Items"

    When the death summons came to Mr Chas. A. Minnich, our popular and efficient post master, on the night of October 26th 1911, a heavy and long lingering gloom fell upon this quiet village. Two remarkable circumstances are connected with the life of this good man; one that he never wore glasses, and the other that he died in the room in which he was born, passing away suddenly but serenely after almost reaching his eighty fifth year.

    His living representatives are two sons and two daughters Messrs Joe and Sam Minnich of Roanoke. Mrs Mollie Marks of
    the same city and the wife of A. W. Hammond (authors note, this is Sarah E. Minnich) of Amsterdam. He is also survived by an accomplished and universally esteemed widow, whose ministration of kindness to her aged husband no doubt
    prolonged his useful life.

    Mr. Minnich was a staunch Presbyterian and the only member of that church residing in this place at the time of his death, but his funeral sermon was appropriately preached by the Methodist minister of Cloverdale Rev. R. K. Nevitt, a much appreciated friend of the Minnich family.

    His last surviving sister Mrs Virginia Wingo of Newport News VA had recently visited him and when the parting hour came, both brother and sister were moved to tears and expressed unwonted regret at the inevitable separation. Were those feelings prophetic of what so soon awaited them.

    It is needless for this writer to expatiate on the virtues of the deceased as they are generally well known to the readers of the Herald. His character was like that of Caesars wife "above suspicion and above reproach" and although he had temporarily resided in other places, one of them as far off as Florida, his good qualities were everywhere discovered and of course favorable descanted upon.

    Two brothers whose homes are now in the west had visited within the past few years and as it was apparent to all that "Charley" was becoming infirm they realized that perhaps this was their last earthly meeting.

    The life of a pure minded man has closed, we have lost a useful citizen and humble christian, but his memory will live long in the hearts of those who knew him.

    Several members of the Minnich and Hedrick families of Fincastle attended the funeral of Mr. C A. Minnich. His four children were also present.
