CHARLES McCAULEY
History of Arizona, page 460

One of Winslow's well known citizens, a man of sterling character 
is Charles McCauley, who for many years has served as a locomotive
 engineer on the Santa Fe line.  He was born at Cambridge City, 
Wayne County, Indiana on November 9, 1865, and is a son of 
Christopher Columbus and Jane Elizabeth (Van Benthaysen) 
McCauley, being the first born of their five children.

He received his education in the public schools of Cambridge City 
and Indianapolis and then started to learn the trade of a machinist, 
at which he worked in various shops for three years, followed by 
three years with the Indianapolis Bridge Company. In September 
1884 he went to El Paso, Texas where he remained but a short 
time, going then to Rincon, New Mexico and from there to San 
Narcial, where he secured employment with the Atchison, Topeka 
and Santa Fe Railroad as fireman on a steam shovel. He worked 
there about three months, when he went to Socoroo, New Mexico 
and thence in November 1884, to Albuquerque where he stayed a 
short time, coming from there to Winslow. Here he started to 
work for the Santa Fe line as an engine wiper; in March 1885 
was promoted to fireman and in August 1887, to engineer in 
which capacity he served until August 7, 1897 when he resigned 
and went into the electrical construction business. In September 
1901 he went to Albuquerque, New Mexico where he worked as a
machinist for the Santa Fe Railroad until November 28, 1901 when 
he was transferred to Winslow and given employment as an engineer, 
being assigned to regular service on December 12 and has continued 
in that line to the present time.  

On February 16, 1897 he married Frieda Keller, a native of 
Lomersheim, Malbronn Co., state of Wertemberg, Germany and 
to them have been born three children, one of whom died in 
infancy.  A son Charles Dewey, lives in Holbrook, now  Navajo 
County Attorney and a daughter Irene F. is a domestic science 
teacher in Winslow High School.
