In 1888 Charles married Mary Yale Pitkin from Philadelphia; this marriage produced four daughters: Ruth, Grace, Ellen, and Carola. Mary's father was Horace Woodbridge Pitkin, a successful businessman in Tennessee, his sister Emily would marry the artist Seth Cheney. Mary Yale Pitkins' mother was Lucy Yale; Lucy's sister would marry a Mr. Beadle.
