Charles H. Tarbell

1835 - 1907

Charles H. Tarbell, a prominent business man of Utica [Oneida Co., NY] who died last week at his home in that city, is remembered by many surviving friends as having lived here for some time many years ago.  The period of his residence here was probably before the Civil war, and was previous to his marriage.  He was a young man at the time, and worked here in the shops side by side with many men who were employed by the old stock company and other manufacturing concerns.  Those who knew him in those days are not all gone and such of them as have heard of his decease speak with appreciation of his high character and his fine ability as a mechanic and a man of business.  Mr. Tarbell had been in poor health for about four years, so that he had not been able to devote himself to business pursuits with his usual energy, and had been confined to his home since February, after spending all of the winter in the South.  He was best known in Utica in connection with the carriage and harness trade, at which he was an expert.  Most of his business life was spent in the employ of J.M. Childs & Co., now C.H. Childs & Co., for whom he traveled as a salesman.  He was widely known in this state and many others, and had thousands of customers who became his warm personal friends.  While the civil war was in progress he was doing his duty at the front, serving his country as a courageous soldier in the 121st New York Regiment.  He followed the flag in many battle fields, and was honorably discharged after three years service.  After the war was over and the G.A.R. was formed to perpetuate the memory of army life and advance the welfare of the veterans, he became a member of Bacon Post holding several offices therein.  In 1881 Mr. Tarbell was married to Miss Nettie M. Miller of Utica and their union was the source of much domestic happiness. Their home was in the suburbs of the city, where they entertained many guests, and exemplified true hospitality.  Mr Tarbell's wife survives him. He also leaves two brothers George D. Tarbell of New Mexico, and Thurston S. Tarbell of Guilford. The late J. Frank Tarbell of Unadilla formerly of Unadilla Forks, who was the father of Mrs. John L. Jones, of DeLancey's Corners was another brother.

Utica Saturday Globe, May 31, 1907

A well-known resident of this city was claimed by death yesterday when Charles H. Tarbell passed away at his home, 807 Genesee street.  Deceased was born June 1, 1835, in Sanford, Broome county [NY].  When he was 14 Mr. Tarbell's parents moved to Afton, N.Y.  Later they moved to Guilford and then to Unadilla Forks, where the young man learned the trade of cabinet making.  He worked at his trade until the beginning of the civil war, when he enlisted in Company B, one Hundred and Twenty-first Regiment, serving honorably until the close of the war.  Coming to Utica, Mr. Tarbell engaged as a traveling salesman with J.M. Childs & Co. now Charles H. Childs & Co.  He was on the road 26 years and subsequently worked in the store for 13 years.  Besides being well known in this city, Mr. Tarbell enjoyed an extensive traveling acquaintance.  His long service for the firm of Childs & Co. attests his faithfulness to the interests of his employers as well as his efficiency as a salesman.  In his home city he was very popular.  He was a valued member of Post Bacon G.A.R. and for years a road commissioner in New Hartford.  Mr. Tarbell was married February 14, 1881, in Utica to Miss Nettie M. Miller, and with his wife had enjoyed for 23 years the pleasant home in which he passed away.  Besides his widow there survive two brothers George D. of New Mexico and Thurston Tarbell of Guilford.  He leaves also several nephews and nieces, including Mrs. D.R. Kinioch of this city; Mrs. Florence E. Stone, of Unadilla, and Mrs. John L. Jones of Unadilla Forks.
