'Charles was the third living son of William J. and Catherine Hand. He was born 2 Jan. 1874 at Ariel, Wayne Co. On 25 Dec. 1884 he received a Bible from his parents as a Christmas present. On 28 Feb. 1887 he was taking lunch to his father in the railroad yards of the Scranton branch of the Erie & Wyoming Valley Railroad. His father was backing up an engine and didn't see his son and, for some reason, Charles was not alert to the situation. He was hit by the engine, lived until 4 March 1887, when he died of injuries received. He was 14 years, 2 months, and 2 days old. William J., his father, never ran a railroad engine again. Charles was buried in the Hand plot in the East Canaan cemetry, South Canaan Township, Wayne County.²'
