Swoope, Jr., Chicago: Richmond-Arnold Publishing Company, 1911, page 675. _____________________________________________________________ CHARLES C. ADDLEMAN, who carries on general farming in Pike township, where he has 125 acres, 100 of which is under cultivation, belongs to one of the old county families, his grandfather, William Addleman, coming to Clearfield in 1849. He was born on what is known as the Irwin farm, near Curwensville, Clearfield county, January 1, 1872, and is a son of G. Lloyd and Annie (Cleaver) Addleman, who are residents of Curwensville, where they have lived since the fall of 1902. Charles C. Addleman obtained his education at the Oakland school in Pike township, and in the Curwensville public schools, and then began to assist his father on the home farm, to which his parents had moved in his infancy. Since his father retired he has had entire charge. About twenty-five acres of the place is still in valuable timber, and four acres are devoted to gardening, Curwensville offering a ready market for all over production on the farm. Mr. Addleman has no coal bank open, but in all probability a workable vein might be found as much property in this section has been underlaid with this valuable deposit. Mr. Addleman was married May 3, 1893, to Miss Alverta Norris, who was born at Clearfield, Pa., June 8, 1875, and is a daughter of Clark and Sarah (Wall) Norris, of Clearfield. Mr. and Mrs. Addleman have two sons, George L. and Charles Wayne, both of whom are bright students in the public schools of Pike township. In politics Mr. Addleman is a Republican and he has frequently served in township offices, formerly as a school director for three years, also a road master and as supervisor, and has been chosen with other responsible citizens to serve on the election board. Both he and his wife are active members of the Union church. He is identified with the Odd Fellows lodge at Curwensville.
