Notes for Charles Edward CHRISMORE
C. E. Chrismore, of Bentley, Kan., Sedgwick county, is a son of Virginia. He was born in that state on June 1, 1864, at Winchester, afterwards immortalized by Sheridan's ride. His parents were James and Mary (Fleet) Chrismore. The father was a native of Virginia, whose ancestors originally came from Germany, while on the mother's side the ancestry was Scotch. The elder Chrismore died in 1871 near Winchester, Va., and the mother died the same year. C. E. Chrismore was left an orphan at the age of seven, and acquired his education in the subscription schools of Virginia, which he attended up to his tenth year. In 1874 he came west with his employer, J. M. Wise, in the attempt to better his fortunes, and located at Pawnee, Kan., where he worked as a farm hand and at herding cattle until 1883. Mr. Chrismore was married on March 2, 1883 to Miss Carrie M. Marshall, daughter of C. P. Marshall of Wilmington, Del., at Larned, Kan. Of this union seven children were born, all of whom are now living, viz.: Emily, Mabel, Calvin, Charles E., Marana, Lloyd, Elizabeth, Emily who is married to L. R. Beal, of Bentley, Kan., a farmer, and has one child. Mabel is married to Henry Foglestone, of the same place, a farmer, and has no children. The two youngest children of Mr. Chrismore are attending school in Bentley. After his marriage, Mr. Chrismore removed to Sedgwick county, Kansas, on March 4, 1883, locating east of Wichita seven miles. He farmed as a renter one year, then moved to Eagle township where he bought a farm on Section 4. His specialty on the farm was raising and breeding trotters and road horses. He now is the owner of a fine bred stallion which he values at $1,500. After selling his farm in 1900, he moved to Bentley and engaged with the Kansas Lumber Company as yard manager, and has been in the employment of this company for twenty-seven years. Mr. Chrismore is a public spirited citizen, enjoying the confidence of the entire community, and is active in the Republican party in placing good men in office.
