RECLUSE'S DEATH REVEALS HIS LOVE FOR OLD FRIENDS
Leaves Poems of Admiration For Aged Friend; Liked Books, Biography, Travel; Was Homeles Man -
CHARLES H. CATON had many friends whom he had comforted In their hours of pain and sorrow. but when it came his time to die. none of them was with him. He died alone among strangers. -
In the notes and papers which were found in the recluse's room at 20215 East Central street after his sudden death Friday was a poem which he had written and dedicated to one of his friends, T. K. Quimore. He had known Mr. Ollmore in Macomb, Ill., when he lived there for a short time five years ago:
WRITTEN' TO FRIEND
Both the original manuscript and' newspaper clipping of the - poem were found in bis notes. The poem was written when Mr. Gilmore Was 93 years' of age. A letter from an -. other friend of Mr. Caton, written December 15, 1928, said "Mr. Gilmore is still active and walks like a school boy."
THE ALMOND TREE SHALL FLOURISH To T. K. Gilmore
I think It a pleasure to cherish the tress- ure Of & life lived with grace to old age; With quick step in walk, and good sense In his talk.
Wa may well write him down as our
I shall sing of a boy, who to know is a Joy- Of a boy grown old in good grace. His quick, eager slep shows he's chock-
. .
Aud good nature shows Its sign la hus laca
As he goes down the street, his step la as Heet As the boy's in his teens, young and munny: Though he's now '93' he is nimble and Iree: He's as jocund sa childhood and funny How he carries his years-how be Lives without fears.
Many people have questioned and won- dered:
When he comes with his smile, his friends all the while Wish he'd live right along to a hundred.
With a faith that is strong, he goes ria along. With a confidence steadfast and true; He reads his good book. turns upward his look.
Finds a friend who will lead him clean through.
So let's sing him a song as to pass sions.
And only good antals attend.
May that day bà distant, far, when boo
As be nears the other ebore we shall miss him more and more. Thơ' we know 'Us well with him by every token
May I bring you this verse. that might be much worse. Thet sings of s bog growing old With a smile in his face? He has run good race:
How he does it can hardly be told. -Rev Charles H. Caton
Mr. Caton was a graduate of Yale university and held the degree of Doctor of Divinity, his papers showed. He was a scholarly man, 'and spent much time in the Springfield public library during his nine months here.
LIKED BIOGRAPHY
His taste in books included primar- lly biography and travel, although he did read some fiction, according to attendants at the library. One of the books he had read wae Senator Bev- eridge's "Lincoln." He had com- mented upon the ment of the work one day while waltlug at the desk for another book.
The man had the bent figure of one who has spent countless hours with his books. but his eyes were piercing and clear, Indicating a dis- cerning mind. He made copious notes of what he read and preserved them for reference when preparing hs lectures. With his letters and papera were the outlines of some of his addressco.
1
WAS CRUSADER
+ True to his calling of a minister- lecturer. Dr. Caton was also a cru- weder. He had been in Leadville. Colo., when that city was in the midst of a vice crusade 30 years ago. Ac- cording to the account. . his ardent lectures advocating clean government were largely responsible for the de- feat of the gangsters.
The man was country born, he had sald. In his declining years, he hoped to buy a small farm in the Orark
the peaceful quiet he had known As
- a boy. He had no place he could call home after his years of travel and wandering.
REFUSED POSITIONS
He was too old to return to the 186
presa of the city. There were many letters of pollte refusal of appoint- ments he had sought for lecture en- gagements and pastoral charges. "Perhaps next fall." they sald, or "Come back next year when we may be abit in irip you."
And s a man who had done hib part for society in the day of his strength and who had sympathized with many in trouble had no one to whom he could turn in his own last daye. He was a homeless man.
