children's duties grew as they passed from childhood to young men and women. At meal times, for example, each child was expected to be promptly in his place with his hands and face washed and hair combed neatly. There was a strong, religious climate in the home while Charles was growing up. Both his father and mother possessed strong testimonies and conviction of the truthfulness of the Gospel as restored by the Prophet Joseph Smith. Charles's father had personally know the Prophet, consulted him often for advice in business matters, and was one of the Prophets bodyguards. Both of Charles's parents had made great sacrifices and had experienced much sorrow on leaving England and along the way to St. Louis where both of their fathers died with cholera. From Nauvoo to Utah, they confronted other trials and tribulations. Their testimonies and the principles of the Gospel were instilled in their children early in their youth.

From these early years of work, he learned discipline and the value and gratifying results of hard labor. Early farm experiences nurtured in him a great love and appreciation for the earth and what it could yield. Though he left farm work as he neared manhood in order to pursue more gainful employment, he always looked back with fond memories to his years on the farm. He enjoyed the out-of-doors and the beauties of nature. One of his favorite pastimes was to ride through the county seeing the earth being plowed and cultivated and to examine the fields of grain and alfalfa. All during his married life, he kept a home garden as well as planting corn, vegetables, and berries on other lots he owned. He greatly enjoyed the fruits of his labor.
