CHARLES F ZIEBOLD MEETS SUDDEN DEATH The announcement of the death of Charles F Ziebold last Saturday evening Feb 8 1913 shocked our community. His death was caused by slipping under a Mobile & Ohio train which cut off his left arm and left leg. The accident happened about 6 o'clock while he was attempting to board Train Two to return to St Louis. Mr Ziebold was interested in a law case with Mr Rickert, and started to Waterloo Saturday afternoon to consult him. At the East St Louis Station of the Trolley line he unexpectedly met Mr Rickert, and the two started down together, Charles intending to take the return car back when they met. But as the conversation continued he came on thru to this city, and concluded to spend a few minutes with his nieces and nephews, until the departure of the Mobile & Ohio at 5.08. This train was late. He waited for it at the residence of Mr G W Ziebold, and when it whistled he started to the depot. Before reaching the Depot, however, the train started, and Charles tried to catch it at the crossing. In doing so his feet slipped and he fell under the wheels. He was quickly surrounded by friends who carried him to the Ziebold residence and summoned medical aid. Drs Sennott, Paultner and Fults were soon there but it was evident that his life was fast ebbing away. He was collected and conscious, and fully realized what had happened, and the probable result. Father Krewett was called and administered the last rites. He died about 9.45. The remains were sent to St Louis Sunday to the Hoffmeister receiving vault until funeral arrangements could be made. Geo W Ziebold was absent at th! e time, having left a day or two previous for Georgia, where his daughter Florence and wife are to spend the winter. Telegrams were sent to him announcing the sad event, and he returned at once. The deceased was a son of the late Gottlieb Ziebold, so well known here. He was born at California, Mo., April 25, 1866. The following year his parents moved to Monroe City and in 1879 went to Red Bud. He attended the local school, afterward attending college at St. Mary's, Kan., and Christian Brothers in St Louis where he graduated in 1885. In 1887 he entered the law office of J W Rickert entering Washington University later and graduating from the law department in 1891. For a time he was with Judge Freels in East St Louis, later being with Orr & Christie and Smith & Harrison in St Louis. He established his own office in 1894. For many years he was a prominent attorney o! f St Louis, and served repeatedly as president of the West End Business League. During this time he agitated the matter of the free bridge, and was probably the first one to put the proposition conspicuously before the public. Mr Ziebold was married in January 1892 to Miss Mamie Heine, daughter of Charles Heine, the retired poultry commission merchant. Two children were born to this union, both dying in infancy. The deceased was a model young man in every particular, respected by all who knew him, deeply devoted to wife, and those dear to him. The interment took place in Calvary cemetery beside the babes who preceded him. He leaves wife, brother George W., sister Mrs Bonnet in Geneva, sister Mrs John Helber and brothers William and Gottlieb in Red Bud. He leaves a large circle of friends in this vicinity who extend sincere condolence to the bereaved. Submitted by Barbara Coakley
