    Charles remained at home assisting his parents on the farm until twenty-five years old, receiving a good education. He attended but was unable to graduate from DePauw University by reason of failing health. April 2, 1861, his marriage with Kate E. McKinney was solemnized and to their union four children have been born, these three yet living: James N., Charles M. and Gertie E., all at home with their parents.

He also pays considerable attention to raising fine stock, chiefly Durham cattle and Carben horses. He is a strong Democrat in politics and a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
