Notes from his sister Ida's diary written in 1943: She states that Charles was 3 when their parents died (of spinal-minigitis), and she had married at age 16, and kept Charles for a few years, but then "Uncle Charles Wilkerson stole brother away fromm us. He took him to Arizona. He (brother) was drafted and sent to the war (WW I). He served our country for two or three years. Stood the hardships but never was strong anymore.

Charles married a good girl after he came home, Chloe Edwards. She seemed to think a lot of him. He had to be treated at the soldier's hospital so often. At last he took suddenly ill with a heart attack. He was able to go homme, his home being in Glendale, Arizona, but he didn't live long as he got worse fast. The Lord was so good to him. Jist the day he passed away he sang good gospel songs and read his bible."

Charles married Chloe Lorraine Edwards on 2 May 1921 in Glendale, Arizona. Chloe was born on 13 Apr 1903 in Safford, Arizona. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
