ILL ONLY SHORT TIME

Mr. C. L. Cronise Suffers Fatal Stroke of Paralysis

WAS AT CHURCH LAST NIGHT

Chatted With Friends on His Way Home and Seemed in Good Health – Taken Ill 
Soon After and Died This Morning.

  Overcome by a stroke of paralysis after returning from church, to his home, 
116 West Third street, last evening, Mr. Charles L. Cronise, a well-known 
resident of this city, succumbed to the sudden illness at 5.15 o’clock this 
morning.  The death was a great shock to all who knew him, as he had been in 
apparently excellent health, and even yesterday was about in his usual good 
spirits and jovial humor.  Mr. Cronise was 63 years of age.
  Last evening he attended the services at the Evangelical Reformed church and 
on his way home stopped in the office of Chilton and Rhoads, North Market 
street, where he chatted with some of his friends.  He seemed to be in good 
condition although symptoms of nervousness were noticed.  Soon after he had 
reached home, he suffered a stroke of paralysis and death came at an early 
hour this morning.  
  Mr. Cronise was a man of pleasant manner and was much liked by his 
acquaintances.  For some years past he lived a somewhat retired life in this 
city.  He served as foreman of the Grand Jury of the February term of court, 
and his sudden death was a great surprise and shock.
  He is survived by the following sisters; Mrs. Ellen Kirkpatrick, of Los 
Angeles, Cal.; Mrs. Albert Zimmerman, of Buckeystown district, and Miss Lillie 
R. Cronise, who made her home with the deceased.
  Mr. Cronise was born on the old Cronise homestead, north of Frederick, in 
October, 1848, and was a son of Joseph and Rebecca (Brunner) Cronise.  He was 
educated in the public schools and the Frederick College.  At the age of 18, 
he went to lear the milling business at his father’s mill on Tuscarora Creek.  
Here he remained for several years and then turned his attention to farming in 
which he was actively engaged for twenty years.
  Progressive Agriculturist.
  In 1998 he removed to Frederick since which time he lived somewhat retired, 
although he gave much time to the management of his farm, which contains 237 
acres, about 3 miles north of Frederick.  Mr. Cronise was a practical and 
progressive agriculturist and met with much success in farming. 
  He was a director in the Franklin Savings Bank, and one of the organizers 
and directors of the old W. F. and G. Railroad.  In politics Mr. Cronise 
adhered to the Republican party.  He was a member of the Reformed church and 
served at times as deacon and elder.
  The funeral will take place on Wednesday afternoon at 2 o’clock, with 
services at the house and interment in Mr. Olivet cemetery.  M. L. Etchison is 
the undertaker.
