Charles' son Silas Ocie and first wife Nedra

One of Charles' grandsons wrote this and sent it to me:

"I use to go to Charley's house when I was little. He did not have electricity or running water. He lived in an old log house and heated it with a big coal stove in the winter time. Charley would have a truck load of coal delivered to is house I remember it cost $10.00 we thought that was a lot of money then. He had a propane cookstove and a propane refrigerator, he used coal oil lamps for light. The floor in the cabin had cracks in the floor boards about an inch wide, you could see the hounds under the house, the front door just had an old wooden latch with a cotton string tied on it. at night it you wanted to lock the front door you would just pull the string inside through the hole, then in the day leave the string hanging outside to open the door. Funny isn't it. We would sit around the fire in the winter and play pitch. Didn't have any chairs we sat on lard stands and nail kegs."

"His son, Silas was for any thing that was fun. He loved life and he loved people. The more people that would come to our house the better he liked it."
