• Event

A Historical View of DeSoto Kansas 1857-2000 has the following: Charles fell in love and married Addie Uhl. With $200 he had saved, constructed a three room house on 4th St. on the land given to them by her father, Jack Uhl, who lived next door on the present Gordon property, corner of Kickapoo & 84th St. The lot and her father's labor was their wedding present. Charles continued in the mercantile business until 1917 when he moved to Bonner Springs to engage in the banking business. The store was remodeled in 1901 and again in 1907, when he sold out. Charles and Addie had three children, Mae, Harry and Edith. Mae (Cowden) of Lawrence worked in the bank. Harry was very successful in an investment company in Topeka. Edith's husband was the assistant dean of Harvard University.
