     Charles H. Staley, who has been a resident of Concord Township for the past
45 years, was born July 11, 1850, at Cincinnati, Ohio, and is a son of Vincent
and Isabel Staley.
     The parents of Mr. Staley were both born in Germany.  The mother, while
still Miss Isabel Smith, came to America and to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with
her sister, Mrs. Hartkorn.  The father accompanied his parents to Muskingum
County, Ohio, and later became a clerk in the Galt House, at Cincinnati.  He was
married in that city and moved to Delaware in 1857, and became manager of the
Wilson Hotel at Suplhur Springs, where he remained until his death in 1861.  His
widow subsequently married John Sutley, who died some 13 years ago, since which
time she has resided at Columbus.  She is now 87 years of age, and comes of a
long-lived family, her father living to be 90 years old and her grandfather, to
be 95 years.  Vincent Staley and wife had three children, two sons and one
daughter, namely:  Charles H.; Josephine, who married Michael Moran, is a widow
and resides with her mother; and Frank, residing at Ostrander, who married
Elizabeth Chambers.
     Charles H. Staley has given his main attention through life to agricultural
pursuits.  He has lived 51 years in Delaware County, six of these in Liberty and
the remainder in Concord Township.
     In 1872, Mr. Staley was married to Margaret Lorvery (sic).  They have had
seven children, namely: Frank, who married Ida Jones; Mary, who married William
Hannah, and resides at Indianapolis; Harry, who married Laura Soller, and
resides in Marion County, Ohio; Minnie, wife of Clarence Smale, residing in
Delaware County; Eve, who married Burton Andrews, and resides in Union County;
Edward, residing at Zanesville, where he married Rose Hull (he served in the
Spanish-America War and spent three years in Cuba); and Josephine, who resides
at home.
     Mr. Staley is affiliated with the Democratic party and has been active in
township and county politics.  He has served two terms as township trustee and
two terms as township treasurer.  He is a representative citizen of Concord
Township and few are better known.
