Charles E. Chrisman, freight agent at Boise for the Union Pacific System and the Oregon Short Line Railway, which position he has filled continuously since 1892, was born in Louisville, Kentucky, August 28, 1852, a son of Samuel R. and Sophronia (Long) Chrisman, who were natives of Pennsylvania and Kentucky respectively. Both have now passed away. The father, who was a carpenter by trade, was a Union man at the time of the Civil war and served in the Home Guard at Owensboro, Kentucky, where he lived during the period of hostilities.
Charles E. Chrisman was reared in Owensboro and acquired a good public school education. In his youthful days he spent four and a half years as an employee in a grocery store and at the age of twenty he returned to his native city of Louisville, where he was employed for a short time In the wholesale wood and willow ware business. He then became a freight clerk on an Ohio River packet line and at the age of twenty-one years, or in 1873, made his way westward as far as Central City, at that time called Lone Tree, Nebraska, where he spent the winter employed in a grocery store. In the spring of 1874 he removed to Rawlins, Wyoming, where he remained until 1892. It was there that he entered the service of the Union Pacific Railroad Company in 1874. The first four and a half years of his connection with the corporation were spent as a clerk in the Rawlins station and later he was for a short time baggage and express agent at Laramie, Wyoming, but in 1881 returned to Rawlins as station agent and has served in that capacity continuously since or for a period of thirty-nine years. He remained as station agent at Rawlins from 1881 until 1882 and then came to Boise, where he has since represented the company, covering a period of more than a quarter of a century. No further testimonial is needed concerning his faithfulness and capability than the fact that he has been so long retained in the service of a railroad company, for it is a well known fact that the most thorough efficiency must be maintained on the part of employees of the railroads.
At Rawlins, Wyoming, on the 17th of June, 1878, Mr. Chrisman was married to Miss Julia Ann McEvoy, a native of Illinois, and they have five children, two sons and three daughters: Charles B., Lora, Florence, Alberta and Finis Edward. All are married with the exception of Lora and the younger son is now serving the government in a shipyard at Seattle. Mrs. Chrisman is very prominent in the work of the Catholic church and is one of the directors of the Children's Home at Boise.
Mr. Chrisman gives his political allegiance to the Democratic Party. Fraternally he is a Mason, He is fond of outdoor sports, especially baseball, taking great delight in our national game. Almost his entire life has been devoted to railroad service and as the years have passed increasing power and capability have won him promotion that has insured him his position and won for him a substantial salary.
Son of Samuel R Chrisman & Sophronia A Long.
