THACKSTON, Mr. C. C. — Mr. C. C. THACKSTON DEAD - The announcement of the death of Mr. Charles C. Thackston, which occurred at his late home on Twelfth street, will be received with great sadness by the many friends of the family in this city and the general public by whom he was widely known.  Mr. Thackston had been in poor health for some months, suffering from hearts trouble, and it was due to this that death came and claimed him this morning at ten minutes past eleven o'clock.  Charles Cole Thackston was born in Barboursville, West Virginia, December 17th, 1870, at which place he attended the public school until 1880, when the family moved to Huntington where he entered Marshall College and was a close and attentive student for about two years, when he entered the employ of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company, where he spent more than half of his short life, first as call boy and was from time to time promoted and for the past eight years was city ticket agent, and no employee ever stood higher in the estimation of the company and the public than did he.  In October, 1892, Mr. Thackston was united in marriage to Miss Romie Mahan, of this city, who with two children, Edward, aged four years, and John, aged eleven months, are left to mourn the loss.  The first child, Charlie died at an early age. Mr. Thackston was a son of Prof. and Mrs. B. H. Thackston, of Eight avenue and leaves two brothers, William and Alexander, and four sisters, Mrs. J. B. Stewart, Mrs. Chas. Remele, and Misses Lyda and Sallie Thackston.  Mr. Thackston was a devoted husband, a kind and loving father, a dutiful and obedient son, and was loved and respected by all who knew him.  No man ever lived in the city who had more friends and fewer enemies, and the great loss to the family will likewise be felt by his many friends.  The deceased was a consistent member of Johnson Memorial church; also of the Ancient Order United Workman and the Knights of Honor.  Owing to the distance to come of some of the relatives who have been telegraphed for, the time of the funeral cannot be stated, but due notice will be given. -Huntington Advertiser, Monday, Jul 10, 1899, pg. 2
