NEWPORT FUNERAL
The funeral of the late Charles L Rugg will take place this afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Columbia Street Presbyterian Church. The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Association will attend the funeral in a body and for that purpose will meet at Smalley's Hall at 1 o'clock.
Charley Rugg enlisted in the 6th Indiana Cavalry, under Colonel Biddle in 1862. Upon the organization of the regiment he was promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant. His regiment participated in all the engagements of the campaign on the Cumberland. He was captured in 1863 near Richmond Ky. released on parole and in 1864 was recaptured near Macon Ga. during Stoneman's celebrated raid in the enemy's rear.
He was following up the erratic Morgan during an episode of the war yet remembered by stay at homes with a thrill. His shrewdness and ability to hold his tongue won the confidence of his superior officers. Since the war he has suffered with paralysis which was succeeded by consumption, his destroyer.
At one time, Charley was Deputy United States Marshal under Weden O'Neal.
