"Charles Sharadin, son of Jacob, was born in 1818 in Berks county, and was a boy when the family settled in Schuylkill county. He passed the remainder of his life near Pinedale, in West Brunswick township, and like his father was a lifelong farmer, owning a small tract of land, upon which he made his home. He served his fellow citizens for four years in the office of township supervisor, but he did not aspire to public honors of any kind, being a man of modest, unassuming character. His industrious and useful life won him the respect of all who knew him. He was a Republican in politics. Mr. Sharadin married Elizabeth Geiger, who was born in Orwigsburg in 1821 and survived him a short time, dying at the age of sixty-six years. He died in 1885 when sixty-eight years old. They are buried at the old Red Church. Of the three children born to them, William lives at Hamburg, Berks county, where he was formerly extensively engaged in the manufacture of brick; Mary Ann is the widow of David R. Fall, and resides in Schuylkill Haven; and Daniel was the father of Edward Sharadin."
