| Notes: Charles married Wilhelmina (Mina) Staheli, probably in Utah about 1867.
The marriage was sealed in the Endowment House on 22 May 1871. According to
Lewis Lawyer, Mina did not meet her husband until the day of the marriage.
According to LDS church records, their first daughter,
Mary Elizabeth, was born 26 December 1867 at Fort Thomas in the Arizona Territory.
She died 4 Jun 1869 at age five months. She is buried in the Santa Clara Cemetery
in Utah. |
It is not clear when Charles and Mina returned to Santa Clara, Utah. Their
second daughter Rachel (Saline) was born 17 May 1869 in Ariona or Utah.
The family is found living in Santa Clara, Washington, Utah in the 1870 census year,
and Rachel's birthplace given as Arizona. In subsequent census records it is given
as Utah. Charles was listed as a farmer. Charles and Mina had four more
daughters born in Utah. Namely, Emma born 14 Sep 1871, Matilda (Sophie) born 31
Oct 1873, Julia born in Oct 1877, and Dora born in Dec 1879.
Unhappy with living under the Mormon influence, in 1879 the family traveled to California
in wagons, with the assistance of armed guards. Charles purchased 12 acres on
Wilson Avenue in Alhambra in the San Gabriel Valley. Here he built a three-room
cottage for the family and planted grape vines. Their first son Charles was born
in 1881 in Alhambra, followed by two more daughters, Caroline, born in 1884, and Alice,
born in 1886. At right, the family is pictured in front of their home about
1890. Charles added to the residence as the family grew. He also
purchased five additional acres and planted oranges. He called himself a fruit
farmer in the 1900 USA census.
Charles died 1 May 1909 and Mina died 2 Dec 1915. They are buried in the
San Gabriel Cemetery, San Gabriel, California. |
