The birth certificates of his children indicate he was a Baker and Longshoreman. The oldest son of Carrie Elizabeth Holley Jones and Frederick (Fred, Freddie ) Jones he defied his family by marrying a New York girl. When his father became ill or to attend his father's funeral he returned to Greensboro to be with his birth family. While doing repairs on his mothers' house he fell off the roof to his death...dying seven days after his father. Although the death certificate states natural causes, the telegram my grandmother received relates the fall story. Charles lived long enough to leave a widow with three small children .
