CHARLES
J. SHIDE was born around 1893. In 1910 he was living with his older
sister Anna and brother-in-law Louis Krueger in Philadelphia PA. Another
older sister, Rose, also resided with them. The family moved to New
Jersey some time later, probably after June of 1917, when Charles Shide
registered for the draft. He was then working as a bartender for Jacob
Strecker at Frankford Avenue and Somerset Streets in Philadelphia. Louis Krueger was
an electrician by trade, and
had moved to Chesilhurst NJ by January of 1920, and apparently Charles
Shide also went to New Jersey before being called to national service.
