Biography
|
Charley Craft was a hardworking, but simple man of strong moral conviction and intensely loved by his family and friends. Ostracized in the late 1800s in the North Carolina piedmont community that raised him, he sought success first in Indiana where he married Martha Newby. With no money and few resources, Charlie, Martha, and their two young children homesteaded 120 acres of raw, dusty prairie in the Oklahoma Panhandle in 1905. It was a difficult place to raise a family of six children as tornadoes, droughts, hailstorms, and blizzards made their lives more difficult.
