Charles L. Dahler JR was born in Salt Lake City, Utah where his parents were married. Shortly after that the family moved to Virginia City, Montana. Charles worked with his father all his life in the Mining and Banking Business. He met and married Anona Madonna Weidner, and together they had a set of twins, in 1911; only one surviving birth: Donald Raymond Dahler. The story of Mining can sometimes be a sad one, because although Charles family became very prominent and affluent, the toxic effects of the mining procedures affected all males in the family. Anona moved away with Donald to Portland, Oregon which probably contributed to the continuation of the family line, being away from the toxic substances such as mercury and cyanide used to break the ore and remove the Gold and Silver. The toxins rendered all the other siblings as infertile. In Montana, there is a "Baby Cemetery" where over 500 babies are buried; it was not uncommon to have birth defects also. It is thought that Charles' parents did not approve of Anona, her parents being of a class of farmers, from Laurin, MT. Charles and his brother Eugene visited Anona in 1949, just before the first grandchild was born to Donald Raymond Dahler and Eleonore Dahler. Eugene passed away while visiting there. Charles returned to Montana, and was living in Butte, Silver Bow, MT when he passed away in 1955.
But he always took care of Anona and his descendants, and had presented Anona with the royalty checks from the mining operations when he visited her. At this time of 2015 he is survived by 2 grandsons, 2 great granddaughters, 2 great great grandsons, and one great great granddaughter.
