7419	With his inventions of the coffee substitute Postum and several popular grain-based food products including the breakfast cereals Post Toasties and Grape Nuts, Charles William founded the Postum Cereal Company, a food-manufacturing empire that generated one of the largest fortunes of the early twentieth century. In late 1913 and early 1914, Charles' health deteriorated to the point that he canceled public appearances, which prompted speculation in the press regarding his well-being. In early March, the president of the Santa Fe Railroad arranged for Post to be rushed via a nonstop train ride in a private car from California to Rochester, Minnesota, where he was operated on for acute appendicitis on March 10. The operation was a success and he was allowed to return to his home in Santa Barbara, California to recuperate. He died in Santa Barbara on May 9, 1914, by a self-inflicted gun wound. It is believed that his suicide was committed due to frustration over continued health problems (thinking he had stomach cancer). His 27-year-old daughter, Marjorie Merriweather Post, inherited his company along with most of his vast fortune.	Post, Charles William (I7241)
