From Sharon Holzhausen; "Charles was married 3 times. The first, Mary, the second was Hattie, ('Houghton', and possible sisters). Hattie also committed suicide and I believe this happened because Charles fooled around with their housekeeper at the time and she became pregnant. After Hattie's suicide, the housekeeper (Irene Miller) became Charles third wife. Charles had two children from his first marriage, three children from his second marriage, and four children from his third marriage. My grandfather was one of those children. Charles F, 20 yrs old, and his brother, Leander R., 39 yrs, enrolled in Co. D on January 19, 1864. They were in the same Infantry and company. It was told that Charles carried a picture of his mother, in his chest pocket, during the war and that it saved his life, one day, when he was shot at and the bullet hit the picture. Whether it is true or not, it fun to imagine it was." Muster Discharge Jeannine Byard discovered that Charles was an Inventor.
