In 1918 he was living in Minneapolis and his wife Emma appears to have been in an asylum in Rochester, MN. Charles was a bricklayer for the gas company, and was missing two fingers from his left hand. In 1910 he and Emma have been married 9 years and have had 5 children, 4 of whom are living. The family is enumerated in Minneapolis, where Charles is a stone mason; his birthplace is listed as WI. In 1920, 3 of the children are living with their aunt Helen and uncle Charles GALLES; their grandmother Margaret R. GARRETT is also with the household. In this census the children are listed with father's birthplace in IA.
