Charles Alexander Silver, A.B.
Charles A. Silver, fourth child of Alexander Simpson and Jemima (Peterson) Silver, was born in Norwich, VT, 21 Aug 1821. He fitted for college in the schools of Norwich, and graduated A.B. from the University in 1841. He paid for his tuition by acting as a drummer.
Ill health, the result of a hard cold, compelled him to seek a different climate and in the fall of 1841, he left home to seek his fortune. While visiting friends in Brooklyn, N.Y. he was takin dangerously ill, and on his recovery determined to make that city his home.
As mercantile pursuits appealed to his taste more strongly than any other line of work, he obtained a situation as clerk in a grocery store where, by hard work and economy, he acquired sufficient means to warrant his entering business for himself. By close application and wise business management, he was enabled in 1865, to retire from active duties, having amassed a comfortable fortune, since which time he has resided in Brooklyn. He is a member of the First Presbyterian Church; Brooklyn League; Vermont society and New England Society.
He was married August 26, 1847 to Helen L. Mann of Orford, N.H. Four children have been born to them: Charles Lewis, born May 14, 1848, died November 7, 1882; Henry Mann, born, March 2, 1841, A. B., Dartmouth College, 1872; and M. D., Bellevue Hospital Medical College, 1875, now a surgeon and professor of surgery in a New York Medical College; Edward Vernon, born July 24, 1860, A.B., Yale College, 1882, and M.D., College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York, 1885, now a physician in Salt Lake City, Utah; Lewis Mann, twin brother of Edward Vernon, born July 24, 1860, A.G. Yale College, 1882, and M. D. Bellevue Medical College, 1885, now a practicing physician in the city of New York.
