Tuesday, January 2, 1900, at Emporium, Pa., Charles Haut, an old citizen of that town, was found dead in bed. His age was 80 years and 1 month.
In 1892 he celebrated his gold wedding and his wife survives him in her 78th year. Two sons, George and Charles live at Emporium, and one daughter, Kate (Mrs. DeCourcey) who lives at Sizerville, Cameron county, are the other surviving members of the Haut family.

He lived for a number of years in Clearfield county, from whence he came to St. Marys, removing to Emporium thirty years ago, where he remained until his death. The remains were brought to St. Marys Thursday evening, January 4, and taken to the home of Mrs. Brechtel on Marius street.

Obituary:
Charles Hout, an aged citizen of this place, residing on West Sixth Street, died quite suddenly on Monday last. It appears that he retired that evening in his usual health, and got up at about 12 o'clock and replenished the fire and returned to bed. At about 1 o'clock, his aged wife noticed that he was lying very quiet and she spoke to him and receiving no reply, touched him and found that he was cold in death. Mr. Hout was 80 years of age, and was a familiar figure on our street. He had been a resident of Emporium for a great many years. He leaves a wife and quite a number of grown-up children to mourn his demise.
