CHARLES E. DENNY, LEADER IN CITY'S PROGRESS, DEAD; FUNERAL
SERVICES MONDAY
Charles E. Denny, 77, native of this city and a member of one of the
pioneer families of the county, died at his home here, 220 South Main
Street, yesterday, after a short illness.
Since his early childhood Mr. Denny was a worker and leader in
business, financial, civic and fraternal affairs of this section and
served his city in public office and as an outstanding citizen. He was
actively interested in the management of the Denny Lumber Company, on
First Avenue, until a few days before his death and was not considered
in critical condition until a short time before the end came.
Mr. Denny was born November 19, 1852, the son of John and Peggy
Denny, in the old home of the family, then standing on the ground now
occupied by the Middletown Public Library.
In November, 1877, he married Augusta Wampler, daughter of the late Dr.
and Mrs. G.A. Wampler. To this union the following children, all whom
survive him were born: Charles Wampler Denny, president of the Barkelew
Electric Company; Mrs. John B. Tytus, Mark E. Denny, and George E.
Denny. The last sons were associated with their father for years in the
conduct of the Denny Lumber Company.
Mr. Denny's first connection in Middletown was a clerical one with
W.B. Ogelsby Paper company. Later he entered the service of the Oglesby-Barnitz
Bank and remained with that institution for 15 years, most of that time
as cashier. In 1855 (sic), Mr. Denny and George C. Jacoby, now deceased
, founded the lumber company which was Mr. Denny's vital interest until
his death. Some years later Mr. Denny purchased his partner's interest
and later his sons became members of the firm.
In his earlier career Mr. Denny was active as an officer of the
Middletown Gas and Electric Company. He served the community as a member
of the city council in earlier years and also served for a lengthy
period as a clerk and president of the Middletown Cemetery Association.
He held the latter position at the time of his death.
Mr. Denny had been a Mason for more than half a century. It was with
keen regret that he was unable to attend a meeting of the local lodge
last week, when six Middletown men who had been Masons for fifty years
or more, were presented medals by Ohio Masonry. Mr. Denny's medal was
taken to him at his home, where he was ill. He was a member of the board
of trustees under whose administration the present Masonic temple was
constructed here.
In his later life Mr. Denny gave the management of his affairs to
others to some extent and used what time he felt he could spare in
traveling. Three weeks ago he returned from a trip to the Pacific coast
and other points.
Funeral services will be held at the home at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon.
Interment will follow in Woodside Cemetery.

Mrs. Mary Denny
Mrs. Mary Denny died at her home on Fourth Street last Monday evening
after a lingering illness. Mrs. Denny was one of the oldest residents of
Butler County. She had been a member of the Presbyterian Church of this
city for more than fifty years. She was born in Warren County in 1808
and came to Middletown when a small girl. She lived a long and useful
life and was loved by all who knew her. Her dear old face will be missed
by the many who loved her on earth, but her spirit has gone to a happier
land. She has joined her husband and other loved ones who have gone on
before, and are praising their God in that beautiful city beyond the
clouds.

R. V. DENNY
Old and Honored Resident of This City Passes Away
Death claimed another of our old and honored citizens when R. V.
Denny, assistant superintendent of the southern division of the Miami
and Erie answered the call to that better world this morning at his home
on East Second Street, just as the sun was peeping over the Eastern
hills.
The deceased was born, reared and educated in this city where he
spent his whole life, he being identified with the Miami and Erie canal
for the past 50 years, and was known and respected by a majority of the
people of this city.
Mr. Denny was a loving husband, a kind and indulgent father. His
home was his happiness and he was with his family every possible moment
he could. He was a splendid neighbor, a good citizen and a booster for
Middletown at all times.
He has been ailing for some time. His strong and rugged constitution
always bore him well in hand. He knew little sickness and never
complained. When the time came for him to depart he was ready and passed
away as quietly as though he was going into a sound sleep.
Four daughters are left to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent
father.
The funeral services will be held from the residence on East Second
Street at 3 o'clock Monday afternoon. The interment will be made in the
family lot in the Middletown Cemetery.
