Charles was born in Auburn, Michigan (about 3 miles east of Pontiac) to Gen. Charles Chandler Hascall & Nancy Rounds (both of NY), the 1st of 3 sons and 5 children.
Charles grew up in Auburn and Pontiac, his father having there a woolen mill, hotel, and store, and also being in the dry goods business. The Hascall family moved to Flint when he was about 11 years old.
It was there he may have worked in the operations of the "Flint Republican", a newspaper his father started.
He studied and became a lawyer, and met a daughter of one of the prominent pioneer families of Michigan and Flint, Julia Ann Williams.
They were married by the Rev. Wm. Mahon on Dec 23, 1852 in Flint, probably at Julia's father Ephraim's home. It was sure to have been a festive event.
They had 2 children, both born in Flint:
1. Julia Ella ("Puss"), b.1853 (Mrs. G. C. Wattles)
2. Charles Williams ("Willie"), b.1859
Sometime in the 1870's Charles went west, perhaps spurred somewhat by the successes of Julia's uncles in the early days of the gold fever in California. He settled in Colorado, where newer deposits were being discovered and mined, perhaps taking care of legal matters for mining concerns, and perhaps mining himself.
In any event wife Julia and the children were back in Michigan.
Charles may have been involved in a mine in Silver Cliff in 1879 or so, as his son-in-law was out in Colorado connected with that concern at that time, and both men were lawyers.
Charles evidently never went back to Michigan, as his wife Julia is found living with their married daughter's family for a while in Lapeer, Michigan and then at Julia's sister's in Detroit later on. It is said she went out to Colorado to join him after 1880, and was there until he died, when she returned to Detroit.
Charles met with a horrible end... on Nov. 19th, 1897 at Cripple Creek he "attempted to escape a runaway team, but was knocked down and run over, a partially loaded heavy wagon breaking his right leg near the thigh, and crushing his chest."
