Charles lost his mother when he was only 14 months old, and his father at age 7, when he and his older brother Walter were sent to the Indiana Soldiers & Sailors Home in Knightstown, Indiana (approximately 1892-1900)
He briefly lived with his father's cousin, Julia (Rider) Giles, while working as a printer along with his older brother Walter (1900 census, Cincinnati Ward 18) before his marriage to Louise Rose Miller in July 5, 1905 in Cincinnati.
They spent most of their early married life in Washington, Daviess Co, Indiana but moved to Indianapolis at least by 1918 (WWI Draft Registration card) when he and his brother Walter opened a garage at 306 Bicking. He and Lou lived many years at 5406 Lowell Avenue.
There was a running "debate" which was almost a feud, with his older half-brother Rollie Edwin Creaser because Rollie refused to spell his surname as Creasser and used the spelling of Creaser, a change which occurred some time during his years of working for the NYC & B&O railroads. It wasn't much of a feud, since Rollie helped him also obtain employment with the NYC RR and he and Lou visited quite often with Rollie & Emma in Burney. There was a genuine affection between the half brothers.
