Emigrated to US with parents in 1887 (1900 census lists 1888). Family moved to Denver on July 4, 1919 (the day Jack Dempsey knocked out Jesse Willard to become the World Heavyweight Champion). Never naturalized, and generally lied about his birthplace. In the 1920 census, 1950 census, and in his Social Security Life Claim, his place of birth is listed as Wisconsin.

Worked in produce, initially for his brother, Rudolph, and then for himself (1920 census lists occupation as “Produce Salesman”). Suffered financial disaster in 1917 when the market for eggs collapsed, leaving him with large volumes unsold. He lost everything, including money earmarked for a house (his wife Sophie never forgave him for that loss). Found work with Armour and Company in Chicago, then transferred to Denver. Living at 1462 S. Clarkson St. in Denver in January of 1920. Later took a job with Greene Brothers Produce Company in Sterling, Colorado. Sophie chose to stay in Denver with the children.

During WWII, he served as a translator for German soldiers incarcerated near Camp Hale, Colorado. Wendell Mohr believes that was at Kremmling, where he cut ice for Denver Ice and Cold Storage. After the war, he moved back to Denver and worked as a night watchman. He lived in a room on Larimer Street.

Enjoyed playing baseball as a young man, and was first baseman for his team.

Notes:

Called “Charlie Boy” by his mother. Loved baseball.

Forced to leave high school when his father lost his business in 1917 (1940 census lists his education level as H-3, meaning he completed his junior year). He had plans of attending the University of Illinois, but instead he entered the workforce to help support the family. Never did complete his formal education.

In Denver, he worked for Lyons and Johnson collecting rents, but soon after developed a rheumatic condition so painful that he could not walk. The condition was cured by a tonsillectomy (likely to have been rheumatic fever). Re-entered the job market, but resigned from many jobs because they failed to challenge him. Sought a position as a typist despite a lack of typing skills. Received a quick lesson from his uncle (Frank Knuth) and got the job! Remained until his retirement from the company (which became Van Schaack and Company) as Vice President. Working as an “insurance clerk” in January of 1920.

After marrying Lona, lived with his mother and sister for a short time.
