- Charles A. Smelzer
- During his oral history interview, Charles Smelzer reports being born in Sentinel, Missouri. U.S. Census records show him born in Indiana. His father, Robert Anderson Smelzer, was born near Indianapolis. Charles came to Gunnison, Colorado on July 5, 1905 to work on a dairy farm. He was 18 years old at the time. When he was 19, he went to Indiana, where he met his mother, possibly Centrilla Laughner, for the first time, and took a job doing sheet metal work with relatives. In 1908, he moved to Iowa, lived with his Uncle John, and took a job in an ice house. He then returned to Gunnison, where he worked for a cattle ranching operation until he was drafted by the army in World War I. He worked as a cowboy in charge of 6000 head of cattle.
