He served until he died on December 23, 1862. Philadelphia Inquirer, 23 Mar 1863: Interment of a Naval Officer.- The body of Assistant Surgeon Charles H. Pile, United States Navy, who died about three months ago of fever, at St. Simon's, Georgia, was interred, on last Saturday, in the family burying-ground of Pine Street Church. The funeral services were of the most impressive and solemn character, and were conducted by the Rec. Dr. Brainerd, assisted by the Rev. Mr. Church and Rev. Mr. Graces. Dr. Brainerd paid a touching tribute to the worth and Christian spirit of Surgeon Pile, whose death, while engaged in ministering to the sufferings and diseases of our brave tars, was so heart-rendering, and yet so honorable. Said the divine, "Intelligent, affectionate, conscientious, and modest, he sleeps, early laid with the noble dead of all ages. His earthly career has been brief, but his course, like the eagle's, has always been upward and onward. His early friends will stand by his grave, plant it with flowers, and water it with tears. His soul we entrust to the care of a merciful God."
