Arey, Capt. Charles A., Death Came Suddenly - Captain Arey, A Well Known Citizen, Found Dead - Captain Charles Arey, aged 65, was found dead in his bed at his home near South Park Tuesday afternoon. Captain Arey’s nearest neighbor and friend was Mr. S.B. Carr to whose house he frequently went for water and to have a friendly chat. Monday he was over to see Mr. Carr and was in his usual good health. All day Tuesday he failed to put in an appearance and as evening drew on and nothing could be seen of him at his own home, Mr. Carr sent his son Clyde over to see if the Captain was there. The boy returned and told his father that he could see nothing of Captain Arey although his dog was sitting on the doorstep. With the remark that the captain then ought to be somewhere near, Mr. Carr started to investigate for himself. He knocked at Arey’s door, but receiving no response, pushed open the door. Lying partly on his side on his bed he found Captain Arey, dressed and dead. Mr. Carr immediately came to the city and notified Coroner Horton. Deputy Coroner Lillie went last night to the scene of death. From the examination it was concluded to have been death from natural causes. The body was brought to Bonney & Stewart’s and will probably be interred tomorrow. Captain Arey leaves a wife and son and daughter. Mrs. Arey and daughter were absent at the time of the death at Tolt. The son is working at Port Blakely.
Arey, Louisa K. (Boyd), MUCH REGRETTED.– On Sunday morning last, on the announcement being made that Mrs. Louisa K. Arey, wife of Capt. Chas. A. Arey, and daughter of Capt. Adam Boyd, had departed this life, sincere sorrow was expressed by those of our citizens who were acquainted with the family. The deceased was born in what is now known as Rockland (then East Thomaston), Maine; came to this coast in 1864, and by the unvarying kindness and sympathy of her character, leaves a circle of sincere mourners, not limited by the ties of consanguinity. During her sickness and obsequies, there were present more members of both families than had gathered under the roof of any of the number since they could remember. On the side of the deceased were her father, Capt. Adam Boyd, her brothers Capt William of the ship Marmion, (just returned from South America), and Capt. George W. of the bark Vidette, who had just arrived at Port Madison; her sisters, Mrs. S.F. Coombs and Mrs. C.P. Stone; her daughter Mrs. Charles Lipsky, and her grandchild, Mrs. Lipsky’s son,– besides all her other children, some of whom had long resided with their grandmother in California. Thus four generations, and indeed the entire family (save two sisters still living at their birthplace, Rockland, Maine), were present to speak the short farewell–to prepare for a parting of less duration perhaps than the last. On Capt. Charles A. Arey’s side, were Capt. Joseph Arey of the Moneynick, then loading at Freeport, and Capt. Theo. Arey, who has been with his bereaved brother, and who has gone in command of the ship from Port Madison. While, from the vast number of attendant friends who deeply mourned a loss in which they felt they had a part, the occasion was one of more than usual solemnity. The incidental meeting of so many absent ones, whose paths diverge upon the trackless deep, left upon the minds of all a feeling that will not readily be effaced. The Rev. Mr. Damon delivered a very impressive discourse over the remains at the late residence of the deceased, on Monday afternoon, and soon after, the funeral took place, attended by a large concourse of citizens. (The Intelligencer Seattle, Saturday, May 10, 1873 p.3).
