It is with great regret that we an- 

 nounce the sudden death of Mr. Charles 

 S. Erb. Mr. Erb was of German par- 

 entage and was born in New York in 

 1867. He received his education in 

 tlic public schools of this city, entered 

 the drug business and graduated from 

 the New York College of Pharmacy 

 in 1886. For a number of )'ears, he 

 conducted a store at 65th St. and Am- 

 sterdam Ave., and later at 108 Amster- 

 dam Ave. He was an indefatigable 

 worker and became well-known 

 through his kindly and optimistic dis- 

 position. He was a trustee of the Col- 

 lege of Pharmacy, and for a number 

 of years, the chairman of the property 

 committee. He held the office of 

 President of the Alumni Association 



for four successive years and was one 

 of the most active workers in this 

 body. He was an ex-president of the 

 Manhattan Pharmaceutical Associa- 

 tion, a member of the New York State 

 Association, of the German Apothe- 

 cary's Society and of the West Side 

 Dispensary. He also was a Past 

 A'laster of Charity Lodge, )No. 727, 

 F. and A. M. Mr. Erb contracted 

 pneumonia" on Monday, February 9th, 

 and died the following evening at 9 

 o'clock. The funeral services were 

 conducted according to the Masonic 

 rite by Charity Lodge, on Thursday 

 evening. He was interred at the 

 Lutheran Cemetery. 



"Man dieth and wasteth away ; yea 

 man giveth up the ghost and where 

 is her' As the waters fail from the 

 sea and the flood decayeth and 

 drieth up. so man lieth down and 

 riseth not until the heavens be no 

 more." ___^
