Son of William Roe Satterley and Arminda Dayton, husband of Emma Jane Wolcott, whom he married on August 12, 1866, and father of Charles Arthur, Lidy, Orville Bertus Burton Albert, George Frederick, Elton Austen, William Benjamin and Elisa Satterley.
Husband of Lillian Martha Smith whom he married March 29, 1894.
Obituary - A Civil War Veteran, Charles Satterly was Patchogue's last member and Commander of the Richard J. Clark Post of the G. A. R., died on Sunday night in his home, at 22 Terry Street, at 8 o'clock after a lingering illness. It was this same illness that prevented his participation in the Memorial Day Parade this year, which he had never missed in many years as time after time the number grew less and less until he alone survived after the death of the late Isaac Moore last year.
Mr. Satterly was born in Canaan, then a part of Patchogue, on February 15, 1846 and was the son of the late William Satterley and Arminda Dayton. Practically his entire life had been spent in Patchogue.
Stirred by the call to arms in 1864, Satterley, who was then but a boy answered President Lincoln plea for men, and joined the Union Army, serving at Fort Richmond, Staten Island with the 15th New York Militia. After being released from service there, he was the only one of the group to remain in the Army, and enlisted at Tarrytown on September 13, 1864 with the veteran 6th Regiment, New York Volunteer Calvary of which his eldest brother, Selah K. Satterley, was a member, signing up on September 13, 1864, and was mustered into service at Hart's Island as a private in Company F of the Sixth New York Volunteers Cavalry, his brother's regiment, under Captain William S. Duryea in the 2nd Brigade, 1st Division Cavalry Corps, Army of the Potomac, with which unit he saw active service in many major engagements, but did not see his brother until the war was over, as the latter had been assigned to another location. He received his discharge in Virginia on June 5, 1865. He served under Sheridan in the famous Shanandoah Valley campaigns and elsewhere.
He leaves his widow, who was formerly Lillian Smith, three sons, O.B. Satterley of Patchogue, and William B. and Fred Satterley of Sayville, three daughters, Mrs. Esther Chester of Ogdensburg , NY, Mrs. Fannie Decker of Hudson, NY, and Mrs. Mamie Alexander of Patchogue.
The funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Baptist Church, the Rev. Coulson Shephard, officiating with burial in the Lakeview Cemetery.
For many years Mr. Satterley and his son O.B. Satterley largely had charge of the Memorial Day events here, particularly as to the marking of war veteran's graves. It was only about four or five years ago that Mr. Satterley consented to step aside and have his part in the G.A.R. gravesite ritual carried out by some younger man.
