Record Source: Birth note, From an unidentified contemporary newspaper, January 1940: Civil War Veteran Celebrates Birthday. When Comrade Charles A. Whaley of the G. A. R. celebrated his 92d birthday Saturday at an open house at the home of his daughter, Mrs. C. L. Cole, W25 Sixteenth, only one other veteran of the Civil War, Jefferson J. Keyser was able to attend because of the cold weather. Of the total number of guests, about 75, many belonged to Mr. Whaley's Sunday school class from Westminster Congregational church, a number were from the Women's Relief corps and auxiliaries, and some were former friends from the Oakesdale country.Mr. Whaley came to the Inland Empire in 1886 and settled between Thornton and Oakesdale on wheat land he contracted to buy at $6 per acre over a 10-year period. His work for the first year was with the late Cashup Davis in his store and his wages were 75 cents per day and board. Mr. Whaley's stock joke about his birthplace, Kenosha, Wis., January 20, 1848, is that "when he arrived there he did not have a cent to his name, nor could he speak a word of English".
