Charles Houston was born just west of Eldon, Missouri, on the Houston family farm. He was a man of pioneering spirit and had a wandering foot. Charles traveled a great deal for a man of his era, usually by wagon train. During his lifetime, he had 23 different residences in what would become seven different states.
He was a man with a strong sense of family and always kept his family near him, even up to his death. He became a widower in 1904 when his wife, Annie, died of inflammatory rheumatism while they were living and working on the West Ranch of the Drake Cattle Company in Clark County, Kansas. Except for a short time immediately following his wife's death, he raised his two children, Fred and Stella, alone.
He had many different occupations during his life, including farmer, ranch overseer, and he was one of the bricklayers for the Copper Queen Hotel in Bisbee, Arizona.
He died due to injuries caused by being struck down by a drunk driver while he was crossing the street at a corner here in Douglas.
He was the husband of Frances Anna Worthington. They married on 15 November 1894 in Eufaula, Indian Territory, now known as Muskogee County, Oklahoma.
