Charles F. Predmore

The previous blog entry was about Charles E. Predmore, son of Charles F. Predmore. Charles F. Predmore is my moms gr-grandfather (Charles F. to Joseph to Joseph T. to mom), and was born Dec 1842 in Youngstown, Ohio. I believe that he passed away in Pittsburgh, PA, but don't know when yet. I have been able to find a few items on Charles F. Predmore. He appears in the 1850 census with his mom Nancy and family (his father William is not listed). He volunteered in the Ohio State 8th Infantry, Company I (from Youngstown) for three months at the beginning of the Civil War, and I lose track of him after that during the Civil War. I'm not sure if he continued serving in the Civil War or not, but he does show up in a list of Civil War veterans living in Allegheny County, PA in 1890.



From the following link about soldiers who served in the 8th Ohio Volunteer Infantry, Company I:



PREDMORE, CHARLES F.; Entered the Service April 24th, 1861 for 3 Months; appointed Corporal April 30th, 1861; mustered out Aug. 18th, 1861



And here is a copy of the 1890 Veterans List (look about halfway down):





I do show that in the 1870 census he was living in Waukegan, IL with wife Sarah J, and son Charles E., and that they were married around 1865. From the 1890's on I do show him in Pittsburgh. My mom remembers that he was a horse trainer and horse racer, and he does show up in several Pittsburgh directories listed as a horse trainer, as well as hotel owner.



I'm still hoping to find pictures of Charles F. Predmore, and who knows, perhaps I'll get lucky.
