  1. 1.  Charles Harris "Long Charlie" Vickers was born on 30 Aug 1864 in Texas; died on 11 Feb 1930 in Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Old Vickers Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas.

    Notes:

    Referred to by his friends as "Long Charlie", he was vitally interested in the growth and economy of Sabine County. He was a merchant, farmer and owned a sawmill. His interest in the growth of Sabine County was such that he personally hired a geologist to come from Pennsylvania to test for oil, gas and other minerals. He hired politicians to attend and speak at his annual July 4th picnics, which were held at his old home in Isla. These picnics were open to the public and were always well attended. His aim in thi was to improve the knowledge and friendship between the politicians and the people they represented. Charles lost heavily in the depression, and also in the Texas Land Bank, so much in fact, that on Feb. 9, 1930, he suffered a stroke, from which he died two days later. He was buried at the old Vickers Cemetery. His beloved Wife, Kate...was buried beside her husband. their children were also buried in the same cemetery except when stated otherwise. (White and Toole, p 38).

    The only possession we (the family) have of Harrision Vickers, Jr. and his son, Charles Harris Vickers, is a piece of gold. This money was given to Charles by his father when he was seven years old, in exchange for a 'prize pig' of which Charles was overly fond, and more than a little reluctant to part with. He was so grieved over the exchange that he never spent the money, and when my mother, Hazel, was seven years of age, he gave her this little gold piece" writes Mrs. R.G. Sherrod, a member of the JFG Chapeter of the DRT. (White and Toole, p 39)

    Charles married Caledonia "Kate" Lee Bennett on 16 Feb 1885 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas. Caledonia (daughter of Charles "Charlie" Milton Bennett, Sr. and Mary Louise Brazeale) was born before 1868 in Negreet, Sabine Parish, Louisiana; died on 11 Jun 1934 in Hemphill, Sabine County, Texas; was buried in Old Vickers Cemetery, Sabine County, Texas.
