Charles A. Sargent (sic - Sergeant), a veteran of the famous Seventh Kansas cavalry, known throughout the western armies, during the civil war, as the Jayhawkers, died at the soldiers' home at Danville, Monday, February 17, 1919, aged 76 years, 4 months and 8 days.

Mr. Sergeant was born in Miamia (sic-Miami) county, Ohio, October 9, 1842. He came to Bloomington, Ill., with his parents when nine years old, and soon thereafter to Bureau county.

At the beginning of the civil war he enlisted in Company D, Seventh Kansas cavalry and served four years and until the close of the war, when he was honorably discharged.

He married Miss Massa (sic-Massie) Reynolds, who preceded him to the grave some twenty years ago, in 1865, and to this union eight children were born, six boys and two girls, all of whom are living but one son who died in infancy.
