Charles (Chuck) was the last in the line of six children born to James Leland Wade and Abbie Genevieve Baker. His siblings were; Viola, Leon, Earl, Everett and James (Sylvester Perkins). Some were born in New London Co. others in Windham Co. CT. The known great grandfather of Chuck, Sylvester Perkins was born in Lyme, New London Co. CT. He was married to Elisabeth Rogers who was born in Montville, CT.
Chuck and his siblings, Leon and James moved to Washington State. Chuck settled eventually in the Puyallup Valley area, where he married Mary (Loretta) Elizabeth Walsh on Dec. 17, 1938 in Puyallup. They had three children; James, Sandra and Richard.
The family raised raspberries, beans, which were taken to the nearby canneries. He drove semi-truck in and out of state which led him to a job as bus driver for the Bethel school district (403) a number of years until 1963. During this family time; they owned horses which they rode in the Cascade Mountains; he hunted, fished, played cards, he played the accordion, (squeeze box), harmonica, "bones" and spoons (in spite of not being able to read a note.) He brought these along to play by the fire at night while they were camping. Besides being skilled to fix broken cars he worked on the machinery needed on a farm including balers, tractors, and mowers. They worked hard as a family yet had fun and enjoyed good jokes and a sense of humor.
He and Loretta divorced. He married Wilma and they lived in Oregon where he drove bus as well. After a brief time he and Wilma divorced and he returned to Washington to live on a part of the original property that the family owned. He lived in a small trailer on the property of his older son until he died. He died of a heart attack in the night.
