This profile of Charles Wuenschel is from John Miller's A TWENTIETH CENTURY HISTORY OF ERIE COUNTY PENNSYLVANIAS8:
- Charles B. Wuenschel is a well known and prominent business man of Erie, and a leading member of the city school board. He is a native son of Erie, having been born there in 1858, the son of Simon and Elizabeth (Heidt) Wuenschel, both natives of Bavaria, Germany. Simon Wuenschel was a cooper by trade and came to the United States and to Erie in 1847, being there engaged in business as agent for a large oil cloth manufactory. He died in 1870, and his wife in 1898.
- Mr. Wuenschel of this sketch, was educated in the Erie public schools, and began practical life as a clerk in the shoe store of Joseph P. Eichenlob, where he continued for eight years. He then entered the employ of the late H. V. Claus, and had charge of the French and Fourth street branch of that gentleman's State street busmess, until 1887, when he succeeded to the entire business and has since successfully conducted the enterprise. For many years Mr. Wuenschel has been closely identified with the public school system of Erie, and for sixteen consecutive years has been a member of the school board, having served both as secretary and president of that body. He was first elected in 1892, and has since been chosen for six different terms, three times without opposition. In 1891-5, he served as secretary, and in 1906, as president of the board and during his term of service, many great improvements have been made in the public school system. During the above period, school buildings numbers 10, 12, 13 and 16 were enlarged, numbers 2, 1, 6, 14, 17 and 18 erected, and the city high school completely remodelled.
- In 1879 Mr. Wuenschel married Maggie B., the daughter of J. T. Sevin. For nine years before her marriage, Mr. Wuenschel's wife was a teacher in the public schools of Erie. Two children have been born of this union ; Flora E., who died in 1902, at the age of twenty-two years, and Charlotte M., who resides with her parents.
