Charles Halladay

Probably because Margaret Bullock Killigrew was both an early member of the Hobart Historical Society and a cousin of Charles Halladay, his portrait can now be found in the files of the Hobart Historical Society. He was the son of Josiah and Ruth (Bullock) Halladay, and brother of Louise Halladay Hile.

Charlie was born around 1882. This portrait is undated, but judging by his apparent age I would guess it was taken around 1900. His wife, Caroline or Carrie, was the daughter of Ernest and Henrietta Sohn of Hobart. Charlie and Carrie were married in 1913 (Cook County, Illinois, Marriages Index), and for him, I believe it was the second or possibly third marriage. The 1920 Census finds them living in Chicago with three children, the eldest eight years old and thus, it would seem, a child of a previous marriage.
