Charles de Busseil.

Charles de Busseil, the old gentleman who lived on Mr. Lombard's place, died 
Thursday evening at the age of about 65 years. "Pere Charles," as he was 
familiarly called, was born in Paris of a noted French family. He had in his 
possession documents showing his high birth, and had he lived in France he 
would have been a "Count," but having spent most of his life in America, 
this title of nobility was known to only a few friends. He was a well-
educated man and a painter of great ability, several stage-curtains in 
different parts of the State bearing testimony to his skill and taste. He 
was a quiet, unassuming man and always extremely modest. He lived alone in 
the old Creighton house on Mr. Lombard's place and seldom came to town; he 
delighted in solitude and seemed to enjoy the company of his favorite dogs 
more than contact with the world. Born and reared in affluence in the gayest 
city of the world, little he cared for its pleasures and vanities. He 
professed no religious belief, and visited no churches. Before dying he 
expressed the desire to be buried under a large oak on the banks of the 
Vermilion. All who knew "Pere Charles" will sorrow for his death, as he was 
a good, kind old man. Peace to his ashes.
