*******************************************************
On 20 Oct 1881, Charles married Viola "Ollie" Mahaffey of Burnside, Clearfield County, Pennsylvania. She was a daughter of David & Adeline Hill Mahaffey. Charles and Ollie are the parents of Adda L, Belva E, George A & Mary H.
Charles was first buried in St.Peter's Reformed Cemetery in Punxsutawney. It has not been absolutely proven, but court records say his was a "removed burial". Since the original cemetery was paved over and his headstone now is in Marchand Cemetery along with other family members, one could assume that he was moved to this cemetery at the time of the paving of the old cemetery. Again, no absolute documentation is available.
Charles was a carpenter by trade and a staunch Democrat. He was a member of the Camp of the Sons of Veterans and the Order of United American Mechanics.
In 1906 he went to Panama and was employed there for 6 years during the construction of the Panama Canal. While he was there he contracted Malaria and it is thought that this may have contributed to his death. He died at his home near the Adrian Hospital in Punxsutawney.
He was survived by his wife, three daughters and a son:
Mrs. Adda Chambers, at home in Punxsutawney;
Mrs. F. F. (Belva) Monroe of Panama;
Mary and David Henneigh, at home;
two brothers:
Dr. George Henneigh of Sykesville; W.W. Henneigh of Punxsutawney; and
a sister, Mrs. John G. (Sallie) Jenks of Punxsutawney.
Arrangements have not been completed, but burial should take place on Thursday. Mrs. Monroe is enroute here from Panama and is not aware of her fathers death; she is expected to arrive in New York on Wednesday.
Burial was originally made at the St. Peters Reformed Church.

His remains are listed in the 1920 Court records as being a "removed burial".
It was also noted in the court papers that Charles DID NOT have a grave marker,when in fact ,he did.
The cemetery at this location was paved over about 1921.
Another grave marker appears at the Mahoning Union Cemetery in Marchand for Charles,near his parents' burial plot. See Memorial # 30606701 .
As there isn't any real documentation found pertaining to a dis-internment of his remains from the St. Peter's Reformed Cemetery, one can only guess as to the exact location of his remains.
His widow moved to Canfield ,Ohio about 1923.
UPDATE - 6 January 2020-
A copy of his death certificate states he was to be buried in Marchand after his death.
