Obituary:^[6]

SANTA CRUZ. April 18.— Charles C. Moore, 63, San Francisco civic leader, prominent in the Boy Scout movement and director of many business corporations, died at his home late yesterday of cerebral hemorrhage.

Moore apparently had been in excellent health. Less than a week ago he assumed chairmanship of Mayor Rossi’s citizens’ committee to campaign for the Hetch Hetchy bond issue.

When he left the offices of his engineering company Friday night for his usual Santa Cruz weekend, he told his associates he expected to be kept very busy with the campaign. He retired early Saturday, but at midnight complained to his wife of being unable to sleep. A short time later he sank into a coma from which he failed to rally.
