He was 70 years 1 month and 22 days old at death.  The funeral which was held on Thursday at 2 p.m. from the Congregational Church was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends.  Rev Wittrock, German Lutheran minister of Ritzville, preached the sermon.  Charlie, as Mr. Hoffman was familiarly called, was born in Saxony, Germany, on Jan 14, 1846 and in 1873 came to New York from whence he went to St Louis and from there to Denver.  He worked at his trade, that of butcher, and finally became interested in mining a portion of his experience being in the Leadville, Colorado, district. From thence he came to Montana intending to go to the Coeur d’Alenes but being unable to get in on account of deep snow comes on to Spokane and Sprague, arriving here in 1884.  For two years he followed the butcher business here and two years later purchased the farm 8 miles northwest of town which he still owns and which comprises about 560 acres of good land. He was successful at farming and stock raising and having acquired a competency he retired in 1910 and has lived in Sprague ever since. Mr. Hoffman was married in 1875 to Miss Aggie Schaufler of Denver and ten children were born to them of whom two have passed to the beyond. The living children are: Albert of  Seattle, Mrs. Winchester of Spokane, Carl and Mrs. N. A. Pearson of Springdale, Mrs. W. B. David of Kellogg, Idaho, George of Portland, Frank of the WSC, and Walter of Sprague.
