"The History of Montgomery County, Ohio" by W.H. Beers & Co.  1882


Charles H. Anderton, merchant, Dayton, as born in dayton, Montgomery Co., Ohio, 
October 11, 1842.  He is the son of James and Francis (Wilby) Anderton, who 
were married in England and emigrated to America soon after.  The father died in 
1850, but the mother still survives, having reached the age of four-score and 
one years.  Charles, our subject, attended the public schools of Dayton until
twelve years of age and then clerked for his brother in a fruit store until April, 
1862, when he opened a fruit stand for himself, on the northeast corner of Third
and Main streets, in Dayton, where he remained until August, 1862, and then
enlisted in Company A, Ninety-third Ohio Volunteer Infantry.  He was in the 
engagements at Stone River, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, where he was wounded in 
the wrist, and in many other minor engagements and skirmishes.  At Danbridge, 
East Tenn., he was wounded in the right breast, in January, 1864, but served
until the close of the war, receiving his discharge in May, 1865.  He was 
married April 10, 1867, to Miss Lucy Henderson, daughter of Eben and Mary 
Henderson of Minnoka, Ill., by whom he has had three children, one girl and two
boys, only one of the latter surviving.  Mr. Anderton is a member of Wayne
Lodge, No. 10. I.O.O.F.; Dayton encampment, I.O.O.F.; Knights of Pythias, Legion
of Honor, Grand Army of the Republic, Old Guards, and ex-member of the National
Guards.  He is also Chairman of the Republican County Central Committee.  He 
served five years in and was the organizer of Company A, Fourth Ohio National
Guards, which at that time was a Zouve company.  He was a member of the old 
volunteer fire company for seven or eight years, and of the paid company from
1865-1880.  No higher tribute can be paid to such a man than to thus show to 
the world his record.
