Claiborne Guardian, 21 Sep 1881:
Noble, gentle, little Charles S. Bugg, died suddenly at Homer College, on the evening of the 12th inst., being sixteen years and ten months old. The writer knew him intimately from his birth to his death. Charles died in the hopeful morning of life when his honorable ambitions had begun to bud in clearly defined purposes of future usefulness.
Himself, an elder and younger brother, and a sister older than himself, were left orphaned early in life, Charles not being quite four years of age. At the earnest request of the dying parents they were all made the adopted children of their mother's uncle, Hon F. W. Moreland, who, with his amiable wife, we can knowingly say have nobly discharged the onerous duties of parental guidance; and Charlie, noble boy that he was, kindly appreciated, and often spoke feelingly of their love and confidence toward him.
Brave, truthful, affable and courteous, he was a great favorite with old and young alike: His joyous, merry presence dispelled gloom and sadness, as sunshine scatters the storm. We always welcomed his honest presence to our home, and we'll sadly, truly miss the merry sunshine that was as it were a part of himself.
Charlie had been, for several years, orderly in his church relations, being a member of Mr. Zion M. F. Church, and said but a few days before death that he was not afraid to die. To his brothers and sister, to his foster parents, brothers and sisters, we would fain offer a healing balm to his young associates and friends we would ask upon whose shoulders shall the clean mantel of Charlie fill. He being dead yet speaketh.
