Ingersoll (1908) CHARLES S. DALES, for years a well-known citizen of Santa Monica, was born in the State of New York, September 20, 1853. For some years as a young man he followed railroad telegraphy. He married at Middleport, White county, Illinois, Miss Dora, a daughter of D. W. Galloway, a successful farmer. She died, leaving two sons, E. V. and John B.
