Charles and his family moved from Hugo, Colorado to Idaho Springs and then to Flagler. Then Charles decided to take his family and ventured back to West Virginia. They lived in a town called Nestorville. However, they decided Colorado was better for everyone, as there families were all in Colorado, so they moved to Pueblo, Colorado, where he worked at the steel mills.
