Misc. Notes
Charles was a lumberman in Bedford Co. before moving to Meyersdale Pa. then he was a miner and a farm hand, tall man with piercing blue eyes, he was exceptional with figures. You could ask him and he would just figure it out in his head.
His daughter Clara remembers her Pop saying the farmer he worked for children being particularly noisy at the table. It was a family joke to call his children the" Mimmas" when they misbehaved. According to son Paul, while driving one day a pet chipmunk got loose in the car and nearly caused a wreck. He wasn't amused.
After the death of Amanda he married Edith Swearman* and died on his birthday in 1953.
*Edith was the neice of Charles’ first wife Amanda.3163
