  • Notes 
    • “Charles and his sisters inherited their father’s bookkeeping talents. Thus, after high school Charles worked as a bookkeeper in three businesses; in the third, the Sandahl Bottling Company, he worked for 27 years until retirement. Then, due to serious eye trouble, he and Florence bought a large, furnished mobile home and situated it in San Marcos on their children’s property.

      “Charles was a long-time member of the First Presbyterian Church U.S.A. of Austin, serving as elder, deacon, trustee, Sunday School teacher and about 30 years as a tenor in the choir. He has received his 50-year certificates and pins as a Master Mason and Scottish Rite Mason. He is a 50-year member of the Ben Hur Shrine of Austin and played in the band for about 20 years.

      “In 1972-3 Charles had three eye operations — glaucoma and cataract removal from both eyes. So now, aged 80, he can happily read again.”
