He was the first son born to Hiram Kilburn Eddy, the village Blacksmith, and Electa Pinkham who had come with her family from Quebec to settle in Clarke Township. Charles was named after Hiram’s brother Charles Mattison Eddy. He and his family lived in the building where his father conducted his Blacksmith work From an early age Charles resided with his Uncle C.M. Eddy on Lot 22 Concession 3, Clarke Township. He attended school section # 5 when he wasn’t working on his Uncle’s farm. Upon his Uncle’s death in 1869 Charles was bequeathed the farm in which he would reside on for 65 out of the 85 years of his life. Being only 15 at the time of his Uncle’s death the farm was leased out to James Moore until the time in which Charles would turn 20. Charles returned home to reside with his parents for a few years. In his early 20’s Charles made a name for himself as an expert horse trainer apparently known all over the province for his expertise. Colts trained by him were sent as far as the Western provinces. On September 4 1879, Charles married Amelia Jane Gibson. The daughter of James Gibson and Eliza Carscadden. They resided on the Eddy Farm, where two children were born to them. Charles Mattison Eugene Eddy and Amelia Bernice Electa Eddy. Sadly Amelia did not recover after the birth of their second child and died a week after the birth on April 1st 1885. After his wife’s death, Estella Maude Gibson, the younger sister of Amelia came to live with Charles to help him raise his two young children. Six months after the death of his first wife Charles married Estella on September 4, 1885. To them four children were born, Adella Maude, Florence Alvira, Waldimer Leslie and Freeman Laverne. Estella died August 19, 1929, in Orono, Ontario. During his later years Charles collected local news for publication in the Toronto Daily Star. He was also a school trustee of the Brown’s section and known to all as a singer, and a reciter of tales from his boyhood days in Clarke Township.
