1885 ROCHESTER NY DEMOCRAT NEWSPAPER AD DUPLEX! SOUTH BUTLER FANCY DR SWEETING !

Description: SENT TO MORTIMER F SWEETING, FATHER OF CHARLED E SWEETING - From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, Jan. 28, 1890. Previous to his appointment in the navy, Charles E Sweeting spent one year in Ithaca and passed the classical examination into Cornell University. His standing was always high while in the Naval Academy and he graduated with honors; in June 1883, Charles was among 14 of the graduates who attained 85 percent in the multiple in their studies during the term. (They were designated “stars.”) In May 1885, only 13 of the Naval Academy graduates of the Class of 1883 would be retained in the service. Charles stood #13 out of the 15 to be reviewed. In June, he stood #11, and the vacancies were upped to 14. Following graduation and commissioning, he was assigned to the Yantic, consort of the Proteus, which vessels were sent in search of Lieutenant Greely. His ship went north as far as Littleton Island and saved the crew of the Proteus after their shipwreck. Since that cruise he had been on the Shenandoah round South America, and on January 16, 1887, started from his home overland to San Francisco to join the Alert, but after reaching Panama, Admiral Kimberly ordered him to the flagship Vandalia, which was under orders for Honolulu. After standing there a year, he proceeded with a draft of men to Samoa and joined the Adams, and when that ship returned to San Francisco he was immediately assigned, at his own request, to the Thetis, then fitting for the Bering Sea. When they had reached Tacoma, his health broke down and he was sent home. Charles was the third son of Dr. and Mrs. M. F. Sweeting. Both his father and his brother William took care of Charles at home until his death. His brothers were County Treasurer V. H. Sweeting of Lyons, Dr. William H. Sweeting of Savannah, and Sherman Sweeting, a student at Hahnemann Medical College in Chicago. His sisters were Mary and Grace. --- SEE PHOTOS !!!
