  Throughout his life, Charles was a traditional man. He would not use the modern machinery available to perform his daily task of cleaning the city streets. Instead, Charles would use horses and a wagon, along with a push broom, to keep the town clean. He was best remembered as a young man who drove oxen for two winters, hauling logs in Minnesota. Charles made it his hobby in woodworking. He once made a covered wagon for a friend, using only ordinary pine and a few simple hand tools, and the wagon became a main attraction at the Tri-State Fair of Yakima, Washington.
