CHARLES' NAME IS NOT ON THE MARKER, BUT WE CONFIRMED WITH THE CEMETERY THAT HE IS HERE
Charles ran away from home when he was twelve or thirteen years old. He said his father was harsh he could not stand it, so he left and went to village of Brooklyn, which was small suburb on the southwest side of Cleveland, Ohio. He got a job in a barber shop where his duties were to clean up the shop, and on Saturdays when the local farmers came in for their weekly shaves, he would seat them, put the barber's cloths around their necks and lather them up so the barber could shave them on a production line basis.
The 1906 city directory lists him as a carpenter who lived at 22 Parkside in Brooklyn as a 17-year old. He enlisted in the Navy on Jan. 23, 1907 and served a four year stay and was honorably discharged with the rank of Carpenters Mate, 2nd Class, on Jan. 22, 1911.
He was aboard the battleship Kentucky when it sailed around the world with Teddy Roosevelt's "Great White Fleet." He was only five-feet, four inches tall. He met Mary Agnes O'Brien in 1911 in Philadelphia, when Mary was a saleslady in the Gimbel's Dept. Store. When Charles married Mary Agnes, the young bride insisted that he make up with his family after all those years. When World War I opened up, Charles moved his family back to Philadelphia after working as a Railway Clerk and worked as a carpenter in the Navy Yard. They moved in with Mary Agnes' father and second wife Salley Sweeney. He then came back to Cleveland after the war and began a moving company, which his son Charles E. Beutell helped with as a boy. With his truck, they would transport loads from Cleveland all over the midwest, prior to good roads. The Great Depression eventually forced him out of business, and he sold to a small company that would go on to become
This Charles Beutell eventually left the family (during the Depression) and lived the rest of his life in New Jersey, apparently working in shipyards there.
