Notes
a. Continued:   Charles was the 7th in a family of 14 children. He moved from NYS to Minnesota in 1857; in 1859 he moved to Bremer County, Iowa and in 1878 to Ottertail Co. Minnesota. According to the Hancock Signal in April 1878 he apparently sold his farm to a man from Wisconsin for $2100.
  Charles married Armenia Daily, daughter of Andrew Daily and Sally Mariah Carpenter 25 Dec 1860 in Waverly, Bremer, Iowa.
  In 1877 Charles was injured by being kicked in the head by a horse from which he apparently never fully recovered; farmed from an early age (his father also a farmer); had 160 acres at time of his death. The 1860 census indicated his land was worth $2000. In 1907 he moved to Nooksack, WA and lived on a farm with his two sons Harvey and Lloyd who ran the farm. As of 1995 Ted and Frank still operated the farm to which they moved. All of Harve's family were born and grew up there.
  Charles Pike and family were members of the Methodist Episcopal Church. They were among the representative early settlers of Ottertail County (Minnesota). Charles served as township supervisor and a member of the school board; he was a staunch Republican.
  A neighbor who lived across the road, Phil Harris, told the boys that Charles once told him how he happened to meet his wife, Armenia Daily. He was walking through the country in Iowa looking for a farm job when a man (Andrew Daily) came along with a team and wagon and give him a ride. After some discussion the man, who was Armenia's father offered to take him home and put him up for the night. He said his wife wouldn't like the idea but he had to put up with her all the time, so maybe Charles could stay for one night. The outcome was that Charles got a job there on the farm and wound up marrying the farmer's daughter.
b. Continued:   The 1833 birth date appears to be the correct one. His father's diary, the 1850 Federal census and the 1855 NYS census all agree.
