After being in failing health for some time, jockey Charles Rawlinson, aged 40, died suddenly on Monday morning, March 3, 1902, and was buried at Newmarket Cemetery on Thursday afternoon, 6 March.
Jockeys William Warne and Herbert Toon were among the mourners.
Charles rode for Epsom trainer Nightingall at South Hatch; he also rode extensively each winter in Germany where he enjoyed much success.
Charles, who could go to scale at 7st 7lb, left Epsom in April 1900 to live at Newmarket, where he continued to partner many winners.
His brother, Fred Rawlinson (born November 1, 1856) also died suddenly, collapsing in Berlin on Saturday, 20 July 1895.
