Charles had a half brother, Jim. When grandpa Haley died Charles' step-mother took Jim and went to Oklahoma and was never heard from again. She abandoned Charles and his sister's Millie and Gertrude. 

Charles had an uncle Dick who took him into the mountains about 30 miles away from home and dumped him out. He managed to find his way home with a broken leg. He was taken in by a doctor and treated for his broken leg. He got around on crutches while his leg was healing. About the time the leg began to heal, he broke it again. He stayed with the doctor until he discovered he didn't like going to school. At the age of 10-12 he went to live with a man named Oscar Clemm and stayed with him until he married Kricket Ellis.
