CHARLES GIBSON MIDDLETON is a native of Louisville, born February 22,
1883, and was reared and educated in that city.
     John Middleton, the father of Charles G., was born in 1842, in
Henry County, Kentucky, where he was engaged in farming.  For about ten
years he concerned himself with tilling the soil, and while thus engaged
became interested in the raising of tobacco.  Going to Louisville, he
applied himself to manufacturing tobacco, but subsequently went into the
soap business as a manufacturer, being president of the Louisville Soap
Company for many years.  In 1919 he disposed his holdings in that
industry and became president of the Middleton Preserving Company, a
position which he holds at this time.  He is one of the influential and
highly respected business men of Louisville.  He belongs to the
Pendennis and River Valley clubs and to Christ Episcopal Church, and in
politics maintains an independent attitude.  Mr. Middleton married
Bettie Summers, who was born at Louisville and who still survives, as do
their three children: Charles Gibson, Arthur H. and John S.
     Charles Gibson Middleton was educated in the graded and high
schools of Louisville, and for his more advanced mental training entered
the University of Virginia, where he pursued both academic and law
courses and graduated in 1905.  He at once entered upon the practice of
his procession at Louisville, and after some years became a member of
his present firm, Humphrey, Crawford & Middleton.  The firm is engaged
in the handling of corporation business largely, and offices are
maintained in the Inter-Southern Bank Building.  Mr. Middleton is
generally accounted a lawyer of fine talents and much energy.  He is a
director in the Standard Oil Company, and personally is of a social
nature and greatly popular with his fellow-members in the Pendennis,
Louisville County and River Valley clubs.  He is a republican in his
political affiliation.
     On June 6, 1912, Mr. Middleton was united in marriage with Miss
Anita Gheens, who was born at Louisville, a daughter of Charles W. and
Mary (Figg) Gheens, her father being a capitalist of this city.  Mrs.
Middleton is the youngest of four children, and she and her husband have
two children, Charles Gibson, Jr. and Edwin Gheens.  During the World
war, Mr. Middleton joined the United States Naval Flying Corps, May 11,
1918.
