  Waldron, Charles, was born on March 21, 1872, in Nyack, Rockland 
County, N.Y. He attended public school until thirteen years of age, and 
the ensuing eight years worked a part of the time at the tinsmith's 
trade. When twenty-one years old he entered D. L. Moody's school at 
Mount Hermon, where he received his preparation for college, graduating 
in 1897. In the fall of 1897 he entered Harvard College, but failing to 
find it congenial he entered Wesleyan University in the winter term. 
From this college he graduated in 1902. The school year 1900-01 he 
spent in working and teaching. 
  His parents were members of the Dutch Reformed Church. He was 
converted when fifteen years of age. His call to the ministry came 
while in school at Mount Hermon. He was licensed as a local preacher by 
the church in Middletown, Conn. He has served as supply in Colchester, 
Conn., and in the Connecticut State Reformatory School for Boys, at 
Meriden, Conn. His brother, John D., is a minister in the 
Congregational Church, now preaching in Massachusetts.
  In 1902 he joined the Conference, and was stationed at Lackawaxen.
