Latham, Charles P. Judge |
The Roanoke Times, Roanoke, VA, Saturday, February 13, 1897 Death OF JUDGE LATHAM. A Former Prominent Citizen of Lynchburg
Expires in Washington City. The community will learn with regret of the death of Judge
Charles P. Latham. He had been in failing health for several months from
organic weakness of the heart, and on Tuesday afternoon breathed his last in
the city of Washington. Some two or three years ago Judge Latham removed from Lynchburg
to Richmond and entered there upon the practice of law, at the same time
doing journalistic work upon the Star of that city, and as correspondent of
several leading papers. He was born in Culpepper county, being the son of
Woodville Latham, a member of the prominent family of that name, which from
colonial times has resided in that county. When Culpeper was overrun by the
invading federal armies, Woodville Latham brought his family to Lynchburg,
where his brother, Dr. Henry Latham, and his sister, Mrs. Wm Owen, were
living, and thenceforth this city became their permanent home. Prof. Woodville
Latham and Robert E. Latham, brothers of the deceased, and his sisters, Mrs.
E. N. Eubank, of Newport News: Mrs. Alexander Abernathy, of Richmond, and the
Misses S. E. and Ella G. Latham, of Washington city, are well known to this
community where they long lived. At the outbreak of the late war deceased enlisted in the
celebrated Black Horse Cavalry, of Fauquier and remained in active service
until the surrender. Receiving the appointment of clerk of the United States
district court at Danville, he became for eight years a resident of that
city. Returning to Lynchburg he was, upon the retirement of Judge Garland,
made judge of the corporation court of this city, holding that position from
January 1883, to January 1880. Although he had taken up the study of law at a
somewhat late period of life, his native strength of mind and quick
perception enabled him to discharge the duties of the office with promptness
and intelligence. His manner upon the bench was universally remarked upon as
the model of judicial propriety, uniting firmness and dignity with a most
pleasing urbanity. He was twice married. His first wife was Miss Kate Miller, step
daughter of Dr. K. P. Withers, of Danville, his second wife, who, with two
children, survives him, was Miss Mary Edwards, of
Floyd county. He is survived also by a daughter of the first marriage. Judge Latham was a genial, courteous gentleman, of a high order
of intellect, a ready wit, and engaging conversation. The Richmond and
Danville, papers pay warm tributes to his qualities of head and heart, the
State remarking that the announcement of his death was a great shock to his
many friends in that community, where, it says, he was held in high regard by
all who knew him. The funeral took place this morning in Washington. |
