Their vows were read by Wendell Winkler in the presence of her parents, his parents and her sisters, Naomi and Ruth, and her niece, Phyllis.
Two children were born to them, Byran Glen [Barker], 1957, and Brenda [Lou Barker], 1958.
Viola preceded him in death on October 17, 2004.
Charles was baptized into Christ, June 1953, by the pioneer preacher, Rue Porter, and quote: “I endeavored to serve God the remainder of my life. My love and allegiance have been to God, my wife and children, my grandchildren and the United States of America. I have loved every child I ever met.”
Commencing in June, 1960, he taught Jr. High Sunday School, except for three periods, for 31 years.
Charles practiced the barber profession until his retirement in May, 1990.
