Hare and George Calvin. On Aug 9, 1919 he entered into marriage with Mamie Woods; daughter of Annie Susan Brown and William Henderson Woods; and from this union ten children were born; Charles Mathew Jr. 1921 – 1976, Christine Anita, 1923 - , Edna Mae 1925 – 1970, Reginald Carl 1927 – 1997, Cecelia Jacqueline 1930 - , Norma Jean 1931 - , Barbara Arlene 1931 – 2007, Audrey Marie 1937 - , Ronald Lee 1939 – 1997, Gloria Ann Camarillo 1941 – 2001.

During the earlier part of WW II, Charles ventured from Roanoke down to the Norfolk area and secured employment in the Naval Shipyards as a crane operator; traveling back and forth for visitation with his family. In about 1940 he was able to move his family down to a residence in Alexander Park. At the time of his passing he was employed as a painter in the Naval Shipyards. From the stories I have been told he was a strict and to the point man and my mother; Barbara; to her death referring affectionately to him always only as "daddy". Charles passed at 1:25 a.m. on Jan 2, 1955 with his remains being interned in Olive Branch Cemetery on Jan 5, 1955. We Love You!
