(15 Sep 1858 - 19 Jul 1919)
s/o Ezekiel & Ellen Jane(White)Ford.
He married Minerva Elizabeth Bookwalter, Feb. 10, 1887 in Washington Co. Iowa and they were the parents of 5 children. Charles had pre-empted land near Dodge City, Kansas and lived there for a time. About the year of 1895, they packed their belongings in a covered wagon and leading their livestock, the family went to Warsaw, Missouri. They eventually moved to a farm near Nevada, Missouri, where they spent the rest of their days.
Just before the start of WW-I, the government opened up homestead land rights in Wyoming, so Charles and his sons went to Gillette, Wyoming to stake their claim on a property. He would go in the summer months and make the necessary improvements, but he grew ill with a lung infection in 1919 and never got to return to the property. Charles was by occupation a farmer.
