CHARLES ALLEN LANDER was born in Cherry Creek, Nevada, October 25, 1886. He had the advantage of a good public school at Hueneme, California, and made good progress in his studies, and he later enjoyed fine facilities in Los Angeles. He might have qualified for almost any one of the trades or professions and he was not lacking in mental ability, but from being first assistant to his mother in the home culinary department, he developed into a high class chef and for some years he acted in that capacity for different club housers and hostelries. He was with the Elks some years in Los Angeles and later with a large hotel in Kansas City. Missouri. He was at the latter place when we held our reunion at Cerulean Springs in 1921, and I urged him to attend and serve a dinner on that occasion, that we all might have an opportunity to test his proficiency, but I failed to prevail upon him. When but 19 years of age he met, wooed and won Miss MARIE UPDEGRAPH, a young Missouri girl, whose father was a farmer near Bethany. He and his brother-in-law are now operating a meat market in one of the neighboring towns to Los Angeles. Sad to relate, though he has been married twenty years, there are no children to call him dad.
