Acton Memorial Library |
Note: this is not the same Charles H. Handley
The body of Charles H. Handley, a former Actonian, was brought to Woodlawn today (Wednesday) for interment in the Handley lot near the entrace to Woodlawn. Mr. Handley was born in Acton more than 70 years ago and is well remembered by many old time residents. He formerly lived on what is called Gravel Pit road. Mr. Handley was the son of Jonas Handley, who died Nov 14, 1864. The latter dropped dead soon after an exciting discussion with a friend over the presidential election which was won by Abraham Lincoln. The occurrence caused much comment at the time.
