Charles, with his parents and brother, Frank Sherman, arrived in Calistoga, CA in 1877. He was a telegraph operator for the Central Pacific Railroad. Later he was employed in the civil engineering dept. of the Pacific Improvement Co., in the erection of round houses and hotels along the line of the Central Pacific. For a short time, he also farmed in Napa Co. He moved to San Francisco where he became a conductor on the Sutter Street railway. After four years, he returned to Calistoga, CA and farmed for awhile before becoming involved with real estate and insurance in Calistoga whereby he was eminently successful. A biographical sketch from "History of Solano County, California and Napa County, California" (The S. J. Clarke Publishing Co. Chicago 1926): "C. W. Crouch, one of the progressive, successful and representative citizens of Napa county, was born in Lenawee county, Michigan, on the 21st of July, 1867, and is a son of F. A. and Rachael (Dutcher) Crouch, natives of New York state and both of whom are deceased. In 1877 the parents and their two sons, C. W. and Frank S. came to California, locating in Calistoga. For a while the father rented the J. Greer ranch, raising hay and grain and Mission grapes, it being one of the first vineyards in the Napa valley, originally planted by Samuel Brannan. Eventually F. A. Crouch left that place, and in Calistoga he spent his remaining years, his death occurring when he was ninety one years old. "C. W. Crouch received his educational training in the public schools of Calistoga and then became a telegraph operator for the Central Pacific Railroad. Later he was employed in the civil engineering department of the Pacific Improvement Company, in the erection of round houses and hotels along the line of the Central Pacific. He also was for a short time engaged in farming in Napa county, but presently gave that up and went to San Francisco, where he became a conductor on the Sutter street railway. After remaining there for four years he returned to Calistoga and was engaged in ranching for a time, but in 1909 he engaged in the real estate and insurance business in the town, and in this he has been eminently successful. Mr. Crouch was formerly agent for the American Railway Express Company and was manager of the Calistoga Water Company, the California Telephone & Light Company and the Calistoga Electric Company. He is now secretary of the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce, a member of the advisory board of the California Development Association and secretary of the Geyser Highway Association. He is also a trustee of the Calistoga public library. Fraternally he is a member and a past master of Calistoga Lodge No. 233, Free and Accepted Masons, and belongs to the Order of the Eastern Star. "On April 23, 1889, Mr. Crouch was married to Miss Grace Cyrus, who was born and reared in California. Her grandmother was the "Lavina Graves" of the historic Donner party that crossed the plains in 1846. To Mr. and Mrs. Crouch have been born two daughters: Lelia, who is librarian of the Calistoga public library; and Mrs. Jessie Thomas, of Marysville, California."
