• Notes

  Charles F. was also a member of Trinity Lutheran, joining by confirmation 16 April 1916, removal by letter 9 March 1933. Charles worked for Railway Express Agency in Pittsburgh PA. He was known as "pot roast" because he liked to eat. He had blue eyes. His manner of speaking was to take a deep breath and then fire the words out like bullets. Nick name was Chick or Chickie. 1930 census lists him as 29, wife Alma as 34, sons Charles and Robert and daughter Helen. Occupation was given as driver express. He worked for Railway Express Agency all his life. He lived on Perrysville Ave near Perry High School. For what ever reasons he had there was always bad blood between him and my father. Being the oldest he was my grandmother's favorite. From what stories I heard heard he wasn't the nicest person on the planet. I can remember as a small child he and my parents had a loud and violent argument after my grandmother died. Chick wanted his mothers rings while my father was the executor of her estate and wouldn't give them to him. As a result of that they were not on speaking terms for at least 12 years. Chick's marriage to Edith seemed to mellow him out as he was much nicer person when I knew him. When he died his wife Edith called my dad looking for the deed to the plot in Uniondale Cemetery that my dad purchased when my grand mother died. My dad told her he was the owner of the plot and she would have to buy a plot for Chick. When he hung up he was heard to say "that SOB is not getting buried beside my mother."
