Philanthropist. He was also a Union soldier, a highly successful businessman, and Mayor of Daytona Florida for a short time. At the age of fourteen, Charles entered the Civil War on the Union side. At twenty-eight he found himself in New York and built a very successful publishing company. It was during this time that he met and married Mary Therese MacCauley, his third wife. Together they moved to Florida and settled in Daytona. Charles served as the mayor of Daytona from 1897 to 1898. While his time in office may have been short, Charles continued to serve the community in many ways. His love of music prompted him to have a large gazebo built at the corner of Orange and Beach Street. It was there that he engaged orchestras to play for the community. Although Charles and his wife had no children of their own, their caring ways caused them to give milk to the school children in the community and to throw a large party every year for the children.
