FUNERAL SERVICES FOR CHARLES H BECKTOLD HELD THIS AFTERNOON
Charles H Becktold, prominent resident of Southold, was fatally injured on Sunday evening when he was struck by a car in Hampton Bays. Mr Becktold was 72 years old.
Mr and Mrs Becktold, with Mr and Mrs Everett J Warner of Greenport, were driving from Southampton to Riverhead. En route they stopped at Hampton Bays, opposite Raynor's Clam House. According to Town Police, when Mr Becktold got out and started to cross the street, he was struck by the fender of an eastbound car and was thrown into the gutter. The car was owned and operated by John T Hildreth of Bridgehampton.
Mr Becktold was taken to Southampton Hospital where he died five hours later from loss of blood from his injuries.
Charles H Becktold was born in Massillon, Ohio on June 6, 1876, the second of four sons of Leonard and Mary Becktold. The children were orphaned at an early age and the boys became separated. Charles, while still a young lad, set out to earn an independent living for himself. In early youth he joined the US Navy as apprentice seaman and sailed through many waters. He served in the Spanish-American War and was chief quartermaster on the battleship "Gloucester" which bottled up the Spanish Navy at Santiago.
He came with the Holland Company to New Suffolk at the time of U-boat construction and practice there, as electrician and chief gunner. The work of submarine testing and practice was hazardous and often dangerous, and interesting were the stories he told of the exciting and sometimes critical experiences he encountered.
While in New Suffolk he met Addie Jackson of Peconic, to whom he was married in 1903. Before leaving the Holland Company he was sent with a submarine by ship to Russia.
Returning home, Mr Becktold turned to plumbing and in 1905 he established the plumbing and heating business in Southold. The Becktolds continued living in her home in Peconic until 1915 when they moved to their present home in Southold.
Mr Becktold was a charter member and ex-commander of Gloucester Post No 1, Spanish-American War Veterans and a member of Ex-Apprentice Organizations. He was also a member of Peconic Lodge F &AM of Greenport and of Southold Grange.
Surviving, besides his wife, are two brothers, John Joseph and William Becktold.
The sympathy of a wide circle of friends and acquaintances goes out to Mrs Becktold in her sudden loss. Funeral services were held at the DeFriest Funeral Parlors today (Thursday) at 2 o'clock. Interment was in the Cutchogue Cemetery.
