A prominent Lawrence County citizen and former public official has died.
87-year-old Charles "Charlie" Gillespie passed away on Sunday, January 25th at Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes.
He taught history and world problems at Lawrenceville High School and spent 37 years working with the Reader's Digest Association OSP. He was active in local politics and served as a city appointee to the Bi-State Authority which governs the Mid-American Air Center located northeast of Lawrenceville.
