Charlie received his early education in a country school in Morgan County Colorado. Charlie moved with his family in a covered wagon to Kansas for a short time before returning to Colorado.
As a teenager he moved to Montana where he lived with his Aunt and Uncle, Emma and Frank Cox. While living in Montana, he attended Bozeman Agriculture School where he learned how to pursue his dream of farming.

After returning from the war, he got reacquainted with Mildred Snowden and they were married October 27, 1945. To this marriage three children were born. Most of their married life was spent in the Johnson, Nebraska area.
