A BIOGRAPHY OF CHARLES ATKINSON OVERMIRE, by Laurence Overmire (1C3R), updated Apr. 2022:
Charles Atkinson Overmire was born May 23, 1877, in Indianapolis, IN, the only son of Milton Strader Overmire and Alice Nevada Atkinson.
In 1900, he was living in Belleville, San Bernardino Co., California, working as a miner and assayer.
About 1903, probably in Deadwood, SD, he married E. Anna Smith, the daughter of Otis W. and Sarah Olive (Morrow) Smith. Otis W. Smith served in the Union Army in the Civil War as a private in Co. G of the 95th Ohio Infantry. On Dec. 16, 1864, the regiment was ordered to attack the Confederates at the Battle of Nashville in Tennessee. During the action, Private Smith captured the flag of the 6th Florida Infantry and was awarded the Medal of Honor for his bravery.
Charles and Anna Overmire had two children together, Ruth Nevada (1904-2000) and Milton Otis (1906-1997). Sadly, Anna died on Oct. 10, 1909, in Los Angeles Co., CA, when she was only 26. Charles was probably unable to take care of the children himself, so soon after they were sent to live with their Smith grandparents in San Luis Obispo, CA. The census of Apr. 1910 shows Charles living as a lodger in L.A. Then on June 30 of 1910, Charles married for a second time to Alethia Grace Benard Mikesell. They had no known children.
Registered as a Republican politically, Charles was a chemist in the gold refinery business working for Pacific Platinum Works.
On Apr. 23, 1923, he married for the third time, to Mary Belle "Mae" Porter Dean, widow of James Dean, and the daughter of Henry Franklin and Honor Elizabeth (Gaines) Porter. They took their vows in a Lutheran church in Reno, Nevada. They had no known issue.
Mae's father Henry Franklin Porter was a Confederate Civil War veteran. Mae's sister Maude Ella Porter married Lester Easterly, the brother of Major League Baseball Player Theodore Harrison "Ted" Easterly (1885-1951), who was a catcher for the Cleveland Naps, the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Packers.
Charles Atkinson Overmire died on May 29, 1929, in the San Francisco Hospital in San Francisco, at the age of 52, and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Los Angeles.
