Trenton Evening Times/Aviator Walsh is Buried: Honored by Many Friends

In a grave at the Catholic cemetery, beside that of his mother, sleeps Charles F. Walsh, aviator. Funeral services were held yesterday at Our Lady of the Angels church. Boyhood friends of the dead birdman were there to pay their respects to his memory. Noted aviators from far and near sent floral offerings and messages of sympathy. It was fitting that Aviator Walsh should be buried here. It was in San Diego that much of his life was passed, it was here that he made his first flight in an aeroplane. So when he was crushed to death, after a terrible 2000-foot fall at Trenton, New Jersey, last week, they picked him up tenderly and sent him home to rest. Walsh's career was a short as it was eventful. Not until 1909 did he become interested in aviation. His first practice flights were watched with interest by his San Diego friends. And when he became one of the greatest birdmen the world has so far known, San Diego was proud of him. But there were those in San Diego who also feared for him. One of the great pilots of sky craft, and realized that Walsh, as daring as the best, might soon join the ranks of those who had gone before. It came at last. His life went out with one last, great flight in far away New Jersey.
