Parents: Nathan Hunt Gwyn and Mary Susan (Nelson) Gwyn.
Attended Washington State Deaf School and spent some time as an inmate at Eastern Oregon State Hospital. Charles was of medium build with brown hair and blue eyes. (sources: Nelson family oral history, WWI draft card, U.S. Federal Census for 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930)
Per contributor and cousin Armantia, 18 June 2013:
On 19 September 1900, at the age of 8, Charlie was entered as a pupil at the North Carolina School for the Deaf. School records note that he was not born deaf, but became deaf around the age of 18-24 months with no identifiable cause of deafness. He may have had some residual hearing and tried to "read lips" as much as it is possible to do so. It was also noted that he was "underdeveloped" and suffered from an unspecified "nervous condition". The Gwyns withdrew him from school after only three months, and moved to Oregon afterward. Later he returned to formal education.
