“Charlie” as he was familiarly known by a host of friends, died Tuesday at 10:20 a.m. in the City County Hospital after two years of failing health. He was born in North Carolina, November ?, 1886, the son of L. A. and Mary Todd Bristol, but had lived in McKinney most of his life where he engaged in the trade of a blacksmith and machinist. He was a member of the Collin County Saddle Association and Collin Purebred Livestock Association, and took an active part in county fairs, picnics, horse shows, rodeos and other events of the kind. Because of his love for horses, he was always superintendent or chairman of the horse and pony division for various shows and parades staged here. Mr. Bristol was very fond of children and spent much of his time with groups of youngsters. Many expert riders attribute their training to “Charlie.”
He was a member of the First Methodist Church and interested in civic affairs of his community.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Chrystella Forsyth, whom he married in 1907; two daughters, Mrs. F. L. Watters of Grapevine, Mrs. R. E. Boswell of Houston; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Lou Gully and Miss Grace Bristol, both of Morgantown, N.C.; nine grandchildren, a half-brother, Robert Bristol of Morgantown; and five half sisters: Theresa, Elizabeth, Frances, Martha and Agusta Bristol, all of North Carolina.
He was preceded in death by a son, Lambert Bristol, who passed away in 1946.
