Children with Virtie Ann Rains:
Charles emigrated from Howard County, Indiana, to Neosho Falls, Woodson County, Kansas, in 1882. He walked behind the covered wagon driving livestock when his family migrated to Kansas. Although his father owned two sets of oxen, the boy’s favorites were Buck and Bright. His daughter, Flossie Florence, said that her father had told her that when his shoes wore out from all the walking, his parents had to wrap his feet in burlap sacks to keep them from freezing. The family arrived in Neosho Falls, Kansas, on Christmas Day, 1883.
