Charles Head Dead. 
Charles Head, one of Manchester’s 
best known summer residents, died at his 
office in the Mills building, New York, 
Wednesday morning of apoplexy. The 
news of his death came as a great shock 
to Manchester people as well as to the 
Hite. 
Content are we in living yet; 
: The Past with all its sorrows we forget, 
The Present is too busy for regret, 
The Future with its troubles is unmet. 
IL. 
Life hath, in all its tenses, ample scope; 
Not vainly and not blindly do we grope, 
With seeming good and ill we yet may cope, 
Forever cheered by Memory, Action, 
Hope.

others in Boston and other cities. 
Mr. Head had been at his Manches- 
ter residence, ‘* Undercliff,’’ all the fall. 
He had re-opened his winter residence 
at 412 Beacon street, Boston, on Mon- 
day and planned to spend the balance’ of 
the winter there. He went overto New 
York Monday noon and was apparently 
in his usual health when he left Boston. 
One of his daughters, Mr. William 
A. Russell, has kept her cottage at Pride’s 
Crossing open all the fall, and the other, 
Mrs. Philip Stockton, has been at her 
Manchester estate. Tothese two daugh- 
ters, the shock of Mr. Head's death is 
especially felt as their mother died only 
last spring, and they are still in mourning 
for her. 
' Mr. Head was born on July 8, 1849 
in Medford. He was one of the oldest 
members of the Boston Stock Exchange 
ane for 24 consecutive years he was one 
of the members of the governing com- 
mittee in the Exchange. He was: the 
head of the firm.of Charles;Head & Co., 
with offices at State street, Boston, and 
in New York: °For the last two or three 
years, Mr. Head has been accustomed to 
spend most of the year at his Manchester 
estate, letting it during the summer sea- 
son and spending most of the summer at 
“*Headlands,’’ at Wesport, on Lake 
Champlain, N. Y. He has made Man- 
chester his permanent residence for a 
number of years and his loss will be es- 
pecially felthere. ‘* Undercliff,”’

is one of the most charming summer cs- 
tates along the North Shore.
