CHARLES FFREDERICK DISBROW BEE was born near the cusp of a new century. A new century that would bring treatments for disease, modern conveniences like automobiles, planes in the sky, indoor plumbing, heating and air condition.
His father Raymond Bee and his wife had been married about 5 years when Charles arrived. His sister, Ella, had come 4 years earlier . Pike, Gibson, and Vanderburg County, Indiana, would be his stomping ground.
His father lost Charles' mother, Sarah Ellen Anderson, in 1910. He was a miner with 4 young children. He quickly married, Addie "Ida" Belle Walton Coleman, a widow that had lost her husband the year before and was left with 5 children to raise.
Charles wed Flora Bell "Doad" Minnis, in 1917. Charles became a miner too. Eventually, he supported his family as a truck driver for Ingel Coal Company. In his spare he was a played baseball. He was a catcher.
Shortly after his youngest son, James was born, the Bees separated. A separation that eventually would lead to divorce. Donald Bee, the oldest son, was forced to quit school to support his family. A role that he continued throughout his life.
After that, Charles seemed content to move around on a regular basis. He never remarried. He went to work for the railroad (long enough to collect a pension). He raised chickens for a time. He was a janitor in a laundry.
In his younger days, he was described as being short, slender, having brown eyes and black hair. He died of a stroke in May of 1967.
