Information handed down through the family, Charles was a gambler. Was told he was in Linton, Indiana playing a game of cards when his Charlie Reatherford accused him of cheating , stood up, shot and killed Charles.

Newspaper article found paints a different story than what we've been told for so many years. Although it looks like Charles was murdered outside of the bar instead at the gambling table, it's possible that the argument led them to go outside where Charles was shot.
