living in Indiana area between 1928 and 1932. Charles had a Gas station and had no children. Charly I think second boy, married a lady named Rose. They divorced and later he married a lady named Edith. She had two girls, when she married him, already grown up. Uncle Charly run a gas station there in Anderson and Aunt Edith had a sloppy Joe and coffee shop at the station. He never had any children of his own. He was the only one of the kids with red hair. They are both dead. Maybe both in their 70's then. So no one there. I seen them. - per Flo Baxter
