Charles married Ellen Hayden in Manhattan, New York, New York, United States.[3]

Sadly, Nellie died after the shock of him returning home after previously thinking he was dead at sea. Her story was in papers all across the country.[4]

Died of Excessive Joy.
Mrs. Nellie Harbron, 26 years old, died suddenly at her home, 256 Cleveland street, Brooklyn, the other morning, and Coroner Nason, who held the inquest, said death was due to the bursting of a blood vessel in the brain, caused by excitement.
Mrs. Harbron's maiden name was Nellie Hayden, and three years ago she met Charles J. Harbron, a sailor in the United States navy. They were married on Jan. 19, 1895, and the following October Harbron was sent to the Southern Pacific station.
During the first year of his absence he wrote regularly, and then his wife failed to hear from him and believed he was dead.
Two weeks ago the Annapolis landed at Key West, and Harbron wrote to his wife that he was alive and well, and would be home to spend Christmas with her.
She was overjoyed, and two days ago when Harbron arrived, the excitement caused his wife to become hysterical. She complained of headache, and Harbron kissed her. She said it soothed her, and then fell fainting in his arms. He placed her on a lounge and summoned Dr. Frank Senior of Arlington avenue, who, on his arrived pronounced the woman dead.
