The 1930 census showed him living with his sister Gladys Bridges in Minneapolis, MN Charlie farmed west of Hetland, SD, and continued farming after buying a pool hall in Arlington, SD. The family moved to Rapid City, SD in 1955. Sometime after 1956, he was divorced from his wife Myrtle. In June, 1960, Charlie married Violet May Blacksmith, 27, and they lived in Rapid City. He worked for the Metz Bakery in Rapid City for 20 years, when he retired. Charlie was in the 1972 flood in Rapid City caused by the bursting of the Canyon Lake Dam. His house was carried in the flood as he stood on a doorknob and held onto a shelf above the door to keep his head out of the water. The house was caught on a railroad trestle and a boat came by and rescued him. He lost all of his possessions in that flood. In 1975 he moved to live with his son Vernon in Minneapolis, and then in 1979 went to the Arlington Care Center in Arlington, SD. He lived there until his death. He was buried January 3, 1989 in the Hetland Cemetery
