Notes

  • Charles Robert is listed with his parents in the 1920 census in Jeffersonville, Indiana.

    Susanne Briggs, in email information on the Hendron family, comments that Charles Robert (Charlie) was very close to his sister Jane.

    From Charles N's Draft Registration for WWII, I discovered his middle name.

    Charles Newton Hendron
    Residence 428 Walnut St, Clark, Indiana
    Birth 24 Aug 1888 Jeffersonville, Indiana
    Occupation Fireman

    This tells us they are still living in the same section of Jeffersonville where they were in 1930.  That census does not give the name of the street where they live, but they are between entries for Walnut St and Chestnut St.

    It is unknown when Charles Robert moved to California, or whether his whole family moved.  His WWII Draft Registration record has not been found.  Charles and Lahoma were reported in the city directory for Monrovia-Arcadia in 1952.

    The next year they were reported in El Monte, California, which is also in Los Angeles County.

    El Monte, Calif City Directory 1953, p 65

    They were still there by 1955.

    But by 1958 they were reported north along the coast to Santa Barbara.

    Hendron Chas R (Lahoma; Gainor and Hendron) h 7228 Del Norte, Goleta

    In the 1960 and 1961 directory, only the second entry is there, making it appear that Charles has closed his drafting business.

    U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989

    In 1964, Charles is listed in the Santa Barbara City Direcotry, but Lahoma is not.

    Santa Barbara, California, City Directory 1964, p 128

    In the 1966 city directory, Charles and Lahoma are listed at separate addresses.  It appears they had separated by this time, and they divorced in 1970.  Karen appears to be Joe's husband, but Joe is not in the directory.

    U.S. City Directories, 1821-1989

    In 1969, Charles and Lahoma are together again at the same address.  Karen is listed alone in this directory.

    But they divorced in March 1970.

    California, Divorce Index, 1966-1984
    Charles R Hendron
    Spouse Name Gladys L Hendron

    After their divorce, Charles and Lahoma have separate listings and addresses.  Russell is with Lahoma.

    In 1973 and 1974, Lahoma and Joe are listed, but Charles is not in the Hendron entries.  However, his son Joe is reported working at Hendron Associates, his father's business.  The third entry for Robert D in 1974 may be an error for Charles and Lahoma's youngest son Russell Dean.

    At some time later, Charles moved to Las Vegas.

    Charles R Hendron
    Birth Date 25 Apr 1915
    1065 E Flamingo Rd, Las Vegas, NV, 89119-7449

    Charles Robert Hendron, Sr died in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Charles' granddaughter says, "The story we were told about my grandfather is that he was found dead in a hotel room in Las Vegas."
    --  Andrea Hendron Scheffler Volland, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 22 January 2008

    Charles' former daughter-in-law Susanne Briggs adds that he died of a heart attack.  Susanne refers to him as Charlie and her former husband as Chuck, his nickname since high school.

    "Charles Robert Hendron Senior died of a heart attack in Las Vegas. ... I don’t know much about Chuck’s dad Charlie, he was a successful Architect developer in Santa Barbara and did really well.  He had a sister Jane he was close to."
    --  Susanne Briggs, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 8 February 2008

    He was buried in Goleta Cemetery, Santa Barbara County, California.
