Charles Matthew Symonds was born October 24, 1856 in Chichester, Sussex Shire, England. His parents were Matthew and Elizabeth Symonds who pioneered in Cass county. Charlie came to Iowa with his parents, brothers and sisters when he was very small traveling down the St. Lawrence river and coming overland by covered wagon. He attended the Cass county schools, and grew to manhood there. On October 28, 1908 he was married to Clara Vetterick at the home of her mother. Two daughters were born to them, Glenda Wingo of Washington, D. C. and Eileen Jones of Corning, Iowa. Charlie was the Sunday School Superintendent of the Victoria Church in Cass County. He had a thorough knowledge of the Bible and was able to quote Scriptures for any occasion. He was a man of high Christian principles and lived by his faith being kind, willing and obliging and ready to help when and where he could. In 1917 the family moved to Adams county, living a mile north of Corning, until his retirement from farming, ten years ago, moving to Iowa then. He was very patient with his suffering, only those very close to him realized how much he had endured: never complaining, always appreciative of what was done for him. Charlie was the last survivor of the family of nine children. Those surviving him besides his widow, Clara and daughters, Glenda and Eileen, are one son-in-law, William Wingo and six grandchildren, John, Donald and Jimmy Wingo; Charlie, Edward and Christian Jones, and a number of nieces and nephews. He was always ready and willing to be a comrade to his grandchildren and enjoyed their companionship. His utter devotion to his family was shown in his daily living. At an early age he was a member of the Presbyterian church, later transferring his membership to the Methodist church. Funeral services were held Thursday, November 3, 1955 at 1:30 p.m. at the Methodist church in Corning, with the Rev. Frank Jacobs in charge of the services.
