Charles was the sixth child born to George Friedrich and Marie Katherine Beuttel in the farming community of Buhlbronn in what was Rems-Murr district (Kreis) of Wurttemberg, Germany. He was baptized as Karl Friedrich Beuttel on 6 July 1878 and confirmed on 3 April 1892 in the German Lutheran Church in the nearby city of Schorndorf which is located about 30 kilometers east of Stuttgart.
We don’t know much about his childhood but it is known that he was a baker’s apprentice in Schorndorf. Traveling alone at age 17 he immigrated to Philadelphia on the ship Palatia in October 1895. On the ship he was still “Karl” but after arrival he was known as “Charles”. He is found in Philadelphia as “Charles” in 1900 rooming with Friedrich Walch and his wife Rosine. Friedrich was family; his sister Maria Barbara was Charles’ oldest brother, Johann’s, wife. Also staying with the Walch family, was Ernest Lentz who would marry Charles sister Anna in June 1900.
Charles married Lena (Magdalene) Bauer at Saint Paul’s Lutheran Church in Philadelphia on 29 September 1900. Lena’s sister Katherine had married Oscar Kunz, a baker who owned Kunz’s Bakery at 10th and Morris streets in Philadelphia. Family lore is that Kunz’s bakery was a meeting place for young German immigrants in Philadelphia and that this was the place where Charles met Lena.
Their first child, Carl Friedrich Jr. was born in 1901 in Philadelphia. Four other children were born in there (Albert 1902, Agnes 1904, Henry 1905, and Louise 1907). In 1907 the family moved to Atlantic City, New Jersey. Four children were born there (Harold 1908, Christian 1913, Emily 1920 and Catherine 1924). All of the children survived into adulthood.
After filing a declaration of intention in 1908, Charles became a naturalized citizen in 1914.
He and Lena appear on the 1909 Atlantic City directory living at 2305 Arctic Avenue; he is listed as a baker. In the 1920 census they are at the same location and he is listed as a baker in a bakery. In 1921 the family moved to 126 N. Georgia Avenue. In 1924 they were at 129 N. Iowa Ave.
The Atlantic City Directory lists Charles as the owner of the Mayflower Pastry Shop from 1928 through 1931. He, and sons Albert, Henry and Harold all worked as bakers and Lena and daughter, Louise, worked the counter.
On 12 March 1934, Lena, the love of his life, his wife of 34 years died.
In 1940 Charles was living at 129 N. Iowa Avenue with Louise and her husband Angelo Senary. Angelo was listed as a cook at his own restaurant and Charles was a counterman at the restaurant.
On 25 April 1942 Charles registered for the “old man’s draft”. He was 63 years old and was still living at 129 N. Iowa Avenue. His point of contact was his daughter Katheryn. He was 5’ 6”” and weighed 196 lbs. He had blue eyes and brown hair. He had a tattoo on his left arm.
Charles died 7 May 1944 at age 65 and is interred in the Greenwood Cemetery in Pleasantville with Lena.
