Charles Henry Drugan ^{1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9}

   Cause of his death was Bronchopneumonia/Nephritis.

  General Notes:

An article in the 30 Aug 1904 edition of the Winona Republican-Herald stated "Chas. Drugan has a handsome new barber pole."
----------------------------------

WINONA BARBERS DON FLU MASKS
Barbers at the Schlitz Hotel shop were wearing influenza masks in order to avoid coming in contact with influenza while shaving customers.

Charles Drugan, proprietor of the shop, believes it to be a timely move and declares that wearing the masks keeps the barbers from contracting the disease and at the same time protects the patron. It is believed that other local barber shops will adopt the same plan.

• He was buried on 22 February 1939 in the Woodlawn Cemetery in Winona, MN.

Charles' gravestone has his birth year as 1877 but the death certificate indicates March 27, 1878. My feelings are that information on a death certificate is usually supplied by the deceased's survivors on the day of the death or very shortly thereafter and who are emotionally distraught at the time. The engraving for the gravestones are usually approved by the survivors at some time later when they may have a better understanding of the importance of the correct dates and locations. In addition, the 1880 US Census record when he was only three years old indicates a birth year of 1877. Therefore, in my opinion, the gravestone is probably correct. His true birth date is likely March 27, 1877. (Brian L. Lightfoot)
