Mr. Charlie was a much liked and respected member of the Hattiesburg community. Among othe r things he owned a sugar cane mill that upon his death was inherited by a black man that wor ked for him...the only stipulation was that each member of the family was to be given a gallo n of syrup a year.

He worked for Mississippi Light and Power in Petal, Ms. After his retirement he could be fou nd every afternoon sitting on a bench outside the court house in Hattiesburg visiting with hi s cronies. He took grand children June and Sarah (Max) in his Model A (or T...they don't rem ember) to Idaho to get the newspaper and a bit of candy...it wasn't until they were almost gr own that they realized that the little store on Monroe Rd. was not the state of Idaho they th ought it was. My (Jean) one recollection of him was during a visit to California we walked t o the neighborhood store and on the way home he bought me a hot dog with catsup...
