Notes:
Excerpts from the October 30, 1971 Times Leader (Chardon Ohio) newspaper column titled "Posts' 60 years together a 'good life'":
Most of the large bridges in the county built since 1940 were constructed under his supervision while he was an engineer with the State of Ohio.
The first graduate of Chester High School in 1900, he was born in the Post family homestead, a beautiful century home, on Sperry Road in Chesterland.
After graduation he taught in the district school for awhile before obtaining an engineering degree at Valparaiso University. Then back to teaching a bit before moving to Cleveland to work for the city's engineering department.
The marriage bond of James and Emma Post was 60 years strong Thursday as the quietly celebrated their anniversary at their home in Chesterland.
Mr. Post was a widower with four children when they met in Cleveland. A year later they were married and "Emma raised the children as though they were her own" he said.
At 90, Mr. Post is Chester Township's oldest native born resident.
"Sixty years ago today," Mr. Post recalled, "there was snow on the ground. It was a dreary day. Today it's the complete opposite."
"My father was a veteran of the Civil War. He voted for Lincoln in his second term." The family has been Republican in its politics ever since, he explained.
"If you have a difference of opinion, keep it to yourself" Mr. Post advised young marrieds.
The Posts life has had its sorrows. They were wiped out in the depression and Jean, the only child born to them, died at the age of nineteen. The loss is still keenly felt.
"I never thought we'd live to see our 60th anniversary," Mrs. Post said wonderingly. "Sixty years, woman." Mr. Post teased. "That's a long time."

- Misc: 29 Nov 1966, Washington, District of Columbia, United States; was granted patent number 3,288,470 for his invention "Golf tee for correcting a hook or slice"
Notes:
Oddly, his Florida driver license issued in 1976 shows his date of birth as May 2 1902, rather than 1905. His court-recognized Registration of Birth dated December 8 1941 states clearly his date of birth as May 2, 1905, and this is the date found in all family records.
In a "man on the street" piece in a New Smyrna Beach FL newspaper, the topic was "Should we resume diplomatic relations with Cuba?", Charles is quoted as replying "Yes. If we did so then Cuba would cuddle right up to us and would never be a threat. In fact, Cuba should have become a State long before Hawaii way out there. It has good tobacco and sugar for us, among other things."
The quote was accompanied by a photograph of Charles, cigar in mouth.
