Apr 22, 1902 Chas. Sweeten, of Salmon Arm, who was taken to the Royal Inland Hospital on Friday afternoon last suffering from heart disease, expired almost immediately after his admission to that institution. The deceased, who was 79 (sic) years of age, was a native of Ireland and came to this country during C.P.R. construction, but since 1894 has engaged in the ranching business at Salmon Arm. The news of his death was telegraphed to his three sons at Kualt, and they came on Friday night to make arrangements for the funeral, which took place from the hospital on Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock. The following acted as pallbearers: J.P. McMillan, A. McClugan, I. McQueen, Geo. Campbell, Geo. Lavery and I. LeItallion. Charles Sweeten was born in Ballybay, Monaghan, Ireland on Dec. 31, 1833 and was brought to Canada by his parents, Alexander and Mary Ann (Allen) Sweeten, around 1842. They settled in King Township, in the Home District of Canada West (near Toronto), where their younger children, including their son Edward, were born. Eventually the family moved to Wallace Township, Perth County, Ontario. There in 1861 Charles Sweeten married Mary Anne Trask. The couple had six sons and six daughters - Alexander John (b.1862), Matilda Jane (b.1863), Maria (b.1865, d.1866), Susan Ann (b.1866), Anna Mary (b.1868), Caroline Victoria (b.1870), Catherine Christina (b.1871), William Charles (b. and d.1873), Albert Edward (b.1874), Thomas Charles (b.1876), George Henry (b.1878) and Allen Sylvester (b.1880). In 1876, after the death of Alexander Sweeten, his farm was divided between two of his sons with Charles receiving the larger part and Edward the smaller. By 1882 Charles Sweeten had sold his farm in Wallace Township and had moved his family to Crawfordsville, Indiana, Soon after this move he left his wife and family behind and came out west, working on the construction of the CPR. He obtained a homestead in the area of Salmon Arm District called Canoe Creek and was of of the very first settlers of what became Canoe, British Columbia. His farm adjoined the CPR tracks, but his house, probably a log one, was built near a pond (later called Wright's Pond) on the property. He was soon joined in the Shuswap area by three of his sons - Alexander, Thomas and George, who arrived from Indiana and homesteaded at Tappen. Charles Sweeten died at Kamloops, B.C. on 18 Apr, 1902 and was buried there in Pleasant Cemetery.
