In the family are four half-brothers--Warren is a truck farmer in Chicago; Addison is deceased; Bert lives in River Falls township, and Edgar died at the age of five years. Charles received his education in the common schools and came to Pierce county in 1870, staying one year in El Paso township, after which he removed to his present location, which consists of a fine farm of sixty acres on section 24, River Falls township. He is a Republican in politics and a good citizen in every respect. Mr. Dopkins was married first in 1869 to Louisa Miller, by whom he has three sons and three daughters, all of whom are living. Mattie was born in 1871, married "mike" McCuewas and has one daughter, Maud, born in 1890.
