• Notes

  His father was either James which is the name used on his marriage license or possibly William which listed on his baptismal record. His mother was Kate Derr. In 1900 he was living with his grand father Charles Derr. On the baptismal record William and Kate are listed as husband and wife however on Kate Derr's marriage license to Edward Naftzinger in 1897 it stats that she neither previously married or divorced. So this is very curious. His 1st wife was Helen who died in 1930 he married Mary Nuss on December 13th 1930. He was a Janitor at the Lits Club in Reading on 308 Penn Street. He committed suicide by hanging in the basement of the club at 6:25 pm, he was living in an apartment on the 2nd floor at the time. It appears that Charles' grave is unmarked. If you look at the pictures you will notice that there is no marker the left or right of Helen's stone.
