		Charles Ogden Heberer the First and only son of Charles Heberer. 
		As a child I grew up never knowing that my Grandmother had a brother.  

		Then one day, about a year after creating a website for Charles Thomas Heberer,
		I started to get e-mails from his Great-grandchildren (dramatic pause) on his 
		sons side!

		To my shock and excitement my family is twice as big!!!  




		Charles Ogden was born in Paris, France on April 13 1895 to Charles Heberer
		and Marcelline Prudence Leouie Anne Bonnemain. I know nothing about his life as a child
		in France. Having an artist as a father may have left him home with his 
		mother most of the time. His father off to all areas of Europe painting
		until about 1908 at which time the family came to the United States. 
		I've heard different stories as to why they came, to establish the 
		citizenship of the children, to show some works at an exposition, 
		to see the family. For what ever the reason they came it revolved around 
		St Louis.
		According to the 1910 census they lived at 4266 Cook Avenue Saint Louis City
		Missouri. Charles O. was about 15 at this time, and he was dealt a hard blow 
		to his life and it affected him the rest of his life. He was to stay in
		the United States. His mother, father, and sister all sailed back to France. 
		He received a Post card from his father. He sent it two days after they
		arrived in England Aug 10 and told him he was right to say, 
		that the sea was very bad on the trip back and that he would have been sick.
		Leaving for France this evening. Kind wishes to all your father. He was to stay
		on the J T Milliken farm in Crescent Mo. He wrote to His uncle often, asking
		of his folks and how he was doing well. He first wrote on Jan 8 1912 telling
		of how he was learning to drive a team of horses and later on the 8th of June
		1912 said he was learning to milk cows. He left the farm at one point and
		arrived at his uncles in Belleville Ill. In a letter from his father to Herman
		dated Oct 29 1912, his fathers says Herman can't afford to take care of a boy
		that big. He wished that Charles had not left the farm, he could learn all
		about farming and that knowledge would help him for the rest of his life 
		and that Milliken would have helped him later on. He could run his own farm
		when he grows up. Herman most not have done well enough to raise Charles.

		I don't know is why he did not stay with the Knoebels. 
		As the war broke out in Europe Charles worried about his folks. 
		Writing to them and to Herman to learnthe latest.
		letters were sparse and time were hard. Charles moved around often
		trying to find work. He wrote to Herman at one point and asked to borrow five
		dollars. And again to thank him for it. Later he sent the five dollars back
		with a note say he was doing fine and was picking corn, and each time he wrote
		he was in a new location.
		His next adventure was the army. In May 10 1917 Charles enlisted into the
		Army. He was a private at Jefferson baracks Missouri. By Oct he was in France.
		He fought his way through Picardy, Soissions, St Jacques, St Michiel and on
		Oct 9 1918 he was wounded in Argonne. In a letter to his uncle Herman Heberer
		he puts it like this " I'm recovering well from my touch of the gas.
		After his recovery he was able to return to his unit. I remember hearing a 
		story about his time in the army. He was in France an in a cafe or bistro
		in his American uniform and over heard two men talking in French about the
		Americans making some off comments and all the time never knowing Charley
		understood every word. After a few minutes or this he finally burst over to
		them and let them have an earful. After laughing to himself he went back to 
		his coffee. Leaving the stunned men to them selves. 

		While on duty in France he twice got the opportunity to see his family in Brechamps.
		Once around the Christmas holiday in 1917 and again later the next year.
		In the picture below It is obvious that it was taken later in the year seeing
		that Yvonne has short sleeves.





		He spent some time in Germany just after the war was over and after returning
		to the U.S. was stationed at Camp Dodge until he was honorably discharged on
		September 24 1919 in Camp Dodge Iowa.

		After the war Charles moved to the Mission Hill Township in Yankton 
		South Dakota. According to the 1920 census he was a hired hand on a general
		farm for a Daisy M Morrison. I believe this was the farm he worked on when 
		his sister came to America the following year. 

		Charlie worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps (C.C.C. camps) during the
		depression. I found these corp project numbers that match the information
		found in the wedding anouncement to the left. The first two dates match the
		time Charles would have been in the Corp. (SE-204 1776 7/11/1933 Lake Andes 
		Lake Andes)(SP-6 1776 -V 10/10/1933 Lakeview Lakeview SCS-22 1776 -V 5/31/1935
		Ottumwa Ottumwa. I found this informtion online at a website for the Civilian
		Conservation Corps. While in lakeview 1933 he met a trained nurse that was a
		widow. He married Mary E. Swanson on December 7th 1935 in Sedalia.
		She had three children Warren V. Betty L, and Frank, from a previous marriage.










		I will like to fill in his life with Mary so send me stories on places,
		holiday memories, trips, etc. Of course pictures too.
