During the Civil War, all his family had to eat parched corn and water for six months. When she had money, she sent some of the kids about 2-3 miles away for milk, then would dilute it with water until each child had some. They didn't get milk very often.
Charles' mother married several times and Charles was reared by "Aunt Dank" (Thomas C. Ferguson & Elvira Thompson) on 300 acres on or near King's River, Arkansas. When Uncle Tom died, he gave the farm to Charles & Aunt Dank took the town property. Charles grew sheep, tobacco, had a store, and land on which he grew maple trees & from which he made maple syrup.

(Others in the family thought this was very funny.
