He later lived with a family who was a teacher. One day when I was about 10 the teacher, a man, came up to Misourri on a horse to see George. He hadn't seen him in awhile. George was about 14 when he rigged a pole so it would come down on my head when I would open the door, he was always playing pranks. Soon after that he left home."

Notes:

This researcher found the years of 1864 and 1865 for the years of Charles' birth date. Several of his grandchildren searched their records and found the birth year of 1865 was on many documents including his funeral program, census and Civil War records and the confusion of the date came from the year 1864 being on his tombstone which was made by family in later generations and a mistake.

Quote from Pamela Ruth Hennessee regarding a family photo of Charles, Ella Belle and their four oldest children taken about 1901 based on the age of the baby in the photo, when asked where the photo was taken. "Grandpa died in 1920 and is buried in Marlow, that is where they lived when Big Mama (Gladys the baby) married in 1919. I don't know when or where but Grandpa lost a foot and he was not well after that There was a bad snow storm, the family was with out food and he walked a long ways to get supplies, when he got back he was very frostbite causing the lost of his foot."

Quote from Peggy Farrar "Mother (Thelma Caroline Farrar) told me he had been digging fence post and a blister developed on one of his feet. He was diabetic and had problems with the blister healing. Gang-green set in shortly afterwards and his leg had to be removed. He died a few days later."
