Note: Although his first obituary mentions that burial was to be at Evergreen Cemetery in Fairfield, there is no record of his interment there. He is buried with his first wife Ellen, in Agency Cemetery in Wapello Co., IA. His second wife, Mary Jane 'Jennie' DuBOIS WALL, was married twice before she and Charles were married; she died in 1919 and was taken back to New Jersey for interment.
