[They were living in the same house as Monroe and Blanche Whitney and their two children.].⁷ He registered with the World War I Selective Service System on 12 Sep 1918 at St. Johns City Hall. He described himself as living at 308 Stanton, Portland, Oregon, age 38, born 2 Nov 1879, and his occupation was dentist, self-employed, at 159 1/2 Williams ___ in Portland. He was medium in height, medium in build, with blue eyes and had brown hair. His closest relative was Lucy O. Webster.⁸
     "Aunt Lucy Olds Webster and Uncle Charles, after living for some years in Colorado, moved to CdA [Coeur d'Alene] in 1910. Uncle Charles was a pharmacist and worked in a local drugstore here, and Aunt Lucy kept the books there. They had a room in a nice rooming house and "boarded out." After 2 or 3 years here, they moved to Portland, Oregon, where Uncle Charles started a dental course and Aunt Lucy taught shorthand until he had completed the course -- with considerable distinction. Aunt Lucy could make friends readily and Charles knew how to be gentle with his patients and to keep them entertained with a steady flow of humor. So he did real well in his dental practice, and also did fairly well in the stock market, getting out just in time in 1929. Aunt Lucy died in January 1943 -- about a month after Mother died. I do not know the exact date. Uncle Charles kept house for himself and continued his practice for about 10 or 12 years, then moved to a very nice residential home where he was the liveliest one there. He also had quite a wide knowledge of medicine, subscribing regularly to Merck's Manual and keeping up with it. So he felt he was quite useful at the Patton home, helping the nurses watch the patients. Shortly after he went into Patton Home, I started asking him over for a week or ten days every summer, would take him to lunch with a different friend of mine, and have a dinner party at home one night and those of Aunt Lucy's friends who are still around. Finally -- in 1964 -- when he had got both his train schedule and his baggage mixed up, I realized he would not be back the next year. He became crippled with arthritis about that time, too, and was worried, because if anybody at the Patton Home missed two meals in the dining room in a row, he had to go to a regular nursing home. Only ambulatory patients allowed at Patton Home. A couple of years ago, he got to that point, and, worrying for fear that senility would follow, he asked one of the nurses to become his guardian. He had dreaded the time when he might come to the end of his own resources and have to go on public assistance. That finally happened. But he had always said he wanted to die with his boots on -- and he did just that. He adjusted nicely to the nursing home, and everybody there adored him, just as they had at Patton Home. He did die with his boots on -- just last Sunday, July 25. I would have gone over, if the guardian had sent me word in time. But I had a letter from her only yesterday. (Thursday) He had no relatives at all -- except me, and, of course, we were not blood relatives. When he came to visit, we would all sit and listen to his constant flow of humor. I always felt that his wit deserved a wider audience than his dental patients and friends. So far as I know, he was the last of my parent's generation of relatives and in-laws -- unless Aunt Fanny's daughter Sadie is still living."⁵
