Charles Riley Grubaugh was born in 1865 to Isaiah Grubaugh and Hannah Jane Grimes. He was the oldest of their 9 children (three dying in infancy),
Charles was raised in Crawford County, IL and married Martha Ann Wilson there on 26 Jul 1864.
Charles and Martha had six children, Martin Luther Grubaugh, Cassie Ruth Grubaugh Cullins, Nobel Isaiah Grubaugh, Flora Naomia Grubaugh Piper, and Charles C. Grubaugh and a baby that died in infancy.
Charles' father died in 1887 and his mother died in 1895. Charles was named executor of his mother's estate.
The family appears in Hutsonville, IL in 1900, but leaves Illinois in the early 1900s to go to Rockwall County, Texas. Although Martha was born in Illinois, she and her family were living in Rockwall County, TX in 1880.
In 1910, Martha is found in Rockwall County, TX with the three older children. (She is actually listed as "C. R. Grubaugh", but the "Mrs." is omitted). Flora and Charles are found in an orphanage in Forest Hills, Tarrant County, TX. A newspaper article indicates that they were in the orphanage at least as early as 1908.
This would suggest that Charles died prior to 1908, likely in Texas, either after arriving in Tarrant County or en route from Illinois.
The disposition of Charles's remains (cremains) and death date/place are still unknown
I located the following obituary for Charles in the Crawford County (IL) archives dated "1907".
"Charles Grubaugh, who went from Hutsonville to Texas some three years ago on account of his health, died at Sabinal, that state, last week. His wife was the daughter of Mrs. Martha Wilson, of this city. Mr. G. spent a good part of his last ten years in an endeavor to find a climate in which he could secure relief permanently from lung trouble. He tried Asheville, North Carolina, Colorado, etc., with only temporary relief."
Charles is likely buried in Uvalde County but the burial site has not yet been located.
