Marie-Eva died Sept. 11, 1867 in New York, at age 33 years. On Oct, 17, 1868 in New York, Charles (age 46) married Theresa Bieth (age 21, and his dead wife's sister). Charles and Theresa had 3 daughters; Emma, Lucy and Mary (twins).

Charles opened a cigar store, then a restaurant in the French area of New York (95 3rd Avenue) called the E. Meuris Cafe. The restaurant was later located at 83 Grand Street (1872). Mr. Meuris catered to the high class and it is known that he had a private wine cellar for his elite customers. Later the restaurant moved uptown to 14th Street.
Translated from French:
Yesterday was an excellent example of the restaurant E. Meuris, n. 83 Grand Street. Mr. Meuris had announced that gross receipts for all day for his establishment, groceries, wines and consummations of any kind, would be devoted to the work of liberation. There were crowds and we drank and ate with the ardor gives the satisfaction of a good conscience. Numerous toasts were acclaimed. American has a door the "Health of France" and was enthusiastically applauded. At a time when we write we do not know the result of the day, we only know that the recipe will be at the height of the intention.
