Charles Franklin Colton known as "Buck" bornOctober 24, 1885 in Bolton, Vermont
is my Grandfather who married Emma Louise McManus born 1888 died 1958 of cancer of the
lungs. They married April 19th, 1912 in Charlestown, Ma. and had 7 boys. The third
youngest is Robert Franklin Colton my Dad now deceased as of March 15, 1986 in Kentucky.
Charles Franklin Colton left his wife, my Grandmother Emma after migrating to Ohio for
work. He left all 7 boys and then she left all 7 boys also. 3 years later she was
reunited with her youngest 3 sons in Massachusetts after their picture was published on
the front page of the Ohio Gazette while they were in Boys Town, Youngstown, Ohio , Site
Ophanage. Till today the family does not know where our Grandfather died or when or of
what. I am still searching for his grave. I hope this info was of some use. Please let
me know either way, I have tons more.
