Biography

Charles was born in 1836. Charles Dibble ... He passed away in 1923, and was buried at Greenwood Hills Cemetery, Portland, Multnomah County, Oregon.[1]

C.A. was in the Civil War for three years fighting in the Northern Army from Iowa.

On the 1870 Census Charles is listed as an Daugerian (correct spelling: Daguerreian) Artist. We think this meant he was involved in photography (i.e., daguerreotype process). By 1880 he was working for the railroad.

According to Find A Grave contributor Scott Bolliger:

Charles and his wife Catherine (nee Morton) lived in Eldon, Iowa between 1881 and 1897. There they built a house that later would become the backdrop for one of the most famous paintings ever created in America. What is known today as "the Dibble house" is featured in Grant Wood's painting "An American Gothic".
