1920 United States Federal Census

This record appears to indicate that his first wife passed away, he remarried, and he and his wife had children together. The oldest of their children was 12 in 1920, giving his a birth year of 1908. This means that Charles' first wife passed away before 1907, giving Charles enough time to marry and have his first child with his second wife.
