C. S. PETTIT. The Pettit family in Grant County is one of the oldest and most 

respected families in the county. C. S. Pettit is at this day probably the best 

known of any of the younger generation. He was born in this county January 10, 

1859, and is a son of W. A. Pettit and Mary (Hambrick) Pettit, and is one of a 

family of eight children born to them, all of whom are now living but two. 

He was raised on his father's farm and secured a good common school education 

and began life for himself as a farmer, and has kept up that occupation from 

that day until this. Charlie has been married three times. His first wife was 

Ruba Hedger, daughter of James Hedger, of Eagle Creek. She died in 1883, leaving 

no children. In 1887 he contracted a marriage with Fannie Lawrence, and to this 

marriage four children were born, two of whom are living and two of whom are dead. 

His second wife dying, he later married Miss Florida Beard, who still survives, 

and to this last marriage two children have been born. Charlie Pettit is a staunch 

Democrat, who works and votes for his party. One term he has served as a magistrate 

from Downingsville district, and he made a good one. He owns a nice home and fifty 

acres of good land. He and his wife are both members of the Vine Run Baptist Church, 

and he is a deacon, and for thirteen years has been the church clerk.
