He married Elenora Brown. They had two children, Fredrick and Charles. Fredrick was seven years older than Charles. Their mother died when Charles was only a few years old, his father remarried, and when the war of States was on Fredrick enlisted as a drummer boy and was never heard from again. In the meantime, the father died and the step-mother remarried. Conditions were very bad during the war years so they moved to Canada. When Charles was older he worked in the refinery in Petrolia. That is where he lived after he married. After several years of working in the refinery, Mr. McGarvey offered him a position to go to Galicia, Austria to be in charge of building the first refinery in that part of the world.
