Charles Weare

Linn County

The death of Charles Weare on June 19, 1906, at his home in Cedar Rapids, removes the last member of the family of that name, which family have been prominently connected with our business enterprises since this city was a mere village. Charles Weare was born in Derby Line, Orleans county, Vermont, Jan. 29, 1828, and came to Cedar Rapids in 1848. Deceased was respectively marshal, alderman and mayor of Cedar Rapids, was a member of the legislature for one term, 1864, was postmaster for eight years. During the Harrison administration he was consul at Aix-la-Chapelle, Germany, for one year. Mr. Weare was originally a democrat and became a republican when that party was organized. He had attended more county and state conventions than any other person perhaps in Iowa up to the time of his death, and for more than fifty years was personally acquainted with all the public men of the State.
