- Veteran Fireman Dies Suddenly
Lieut. Charles W. Milender, 47 years old, a city fireman, died suddenly early yesterday morning at his home, 2830 Indianapolis avenue, following an illness of a few hours. Mr. Millender had gone to the city market Thursday morning to make some purchases. As he came out of the market building he fell to the ground unconscious. He later regained consciousness long enough to tell his identity and was taken to fire headquarters at New York and Alabama streets. From fire headquarters he was taken to his home, where he died.
He was a lifelong resident of Indianapolis, having been born here Sept. 11, 1878. He was appointed to the fire department July 2, 1896. After serving for nine years as an efficient fireman he was appointed, July 1, 1905, to the rank of lieutenant and assigned to truck company No. 18, located at 1913 West Washington street, serving there until the time of his death. Fire chief John O'Brien praised Milender as one of the most efficient men on the force, having a clear record. He was a mason, being a member of Capitol City lodge.
Mr. Milender is survived by his widow, Josephine Milender and three children, Charles, Earl and Edna, all of Indianapolis. The funeral service will be in charge of the Masons Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence. Burial will be in Crown Hill cemetery.
