From Carney, OK newspaper article notification of his death:
Charles O Hanmer, 30 years a resident of the Cushing Carney trade area, ex-railroader, ex-peace officer, farmer and man extra-ordinary in achievement, died Sunday at 11:30 at his farm home in South Carney. He was 83 Years, 1 month and 14 days old.
Born in 1857, before the civil war, Hanmer participated in many of the spectacular events which make up western history as a railroader and peace officer in Nevada. But nothing in the many unusual achievements which make up his career is to compare with the fact that he settled upon a farm near Carney at the age of 63 and carried out such a success for himself as a farmer as to be named one of Oklahoma's 20 Master Farmers in 1926. Since then he has belonged to Oklahoma's Master Farmer's Club, it's oldest and one of its most interesting members.
The deceased was a member of the Methodist Church at Chandler and still holds a membership in the I.O.O.F. (Independent Order of Odd Fellows) Lodge in California.
Survivors are Mrs. Martha Hanmer of home, one son, R.E. Hanmer of Carney, two daughters, Mrs Mabel Nissen, Bowie, CA, and Mrs Melba Phipps, Ardmore; one brother, Earnest of New Orleans, LA, and five grandchildren.
Charles O Hanmer went to Nevada when he was 17. This would have been the year 1864, when Nevada was just being admitted to statehood. He started work for the railroads and at the age of 21 was an engineer with the Union Pacific. He also worked for the Union Pacific, The Central Pacific and the Great Northwestern. IN 1901, he retired from railroad work. His membership in various organizations of Nevada gives an idea of the active part he must have taken in the "winning of the west" to law and order. He belonged to the Nevada Vigilantes, the Nevada National Guard, served as deputy commissioned sheriff and belonged to the Olympics Club of Nevada, an organization of sportsmen and athletes. He was an able wrestler in his youth.
