C." as if he went by that name?The 1900 census does have a Charles and Mary (Marie?) living in Poughkeepsie which matches one of the passenger lists.According to that they were married 9 years. The 1920 census says he was naturalized 1890.You could get those papers.It looks like he and Marie took a trip back to Germany in June 1910.I don't find them on the 1930 census.Have you checked vital records for marriage/death or probate records?
