After their father died, their mother remarried to a man with three of his own children. Their mother, Janie, then had three miscarriages and died shortly after her last one on 2 September 1915 . Eventually the children's stepfather did not want to take care of Janie's children and they went to live with various relatives.¹

     Ernest Holt, Charles' brother, describes Charlie as having a mischievous personality and said he extremely hated school and never went beyond the third grade. He also said Charlie was very curious as to what made machines work and would disassemble any thing he could get away with and then reassemble it correctly. Just prior to his mother's death, he had made a long plait rawhide whip, along with a handle neatly shaped of wood. He could pop it with a loved and penetrating crack. Ernest recalls that four months after his mother's death on a Sunday afternoon, Charlie popped his whip behind the family dog and his step brother, Billie. The dog made a leap over Billie and nobody was hurt, but the step-dad saw it and grabbed the whip from Charlie. He then whipped him with it so hard that the handle broke and then pounded him with the handle. According to Ernst, this was the last straw for the Charlie, Katy, and himself and they packed up their belongings and walked the 1 1/2 miles to Janie's brother, Isaacs' house. Isaac had told them that when it got too bad, they could come live with them.

The people at the hospital were concerned and tried to get him to tell them of his nearest relative. He refused to do so, however as he was being wheeled into the operating room, he finally told them of his sister, Katy in Missouri. The nurse immediately wired his condition to Katy, but he was dead on her arrival. She had not seen him for six years.¹ He is buried in an unknown cemetery in Geneva, Illinois.¹ He never married.¹

He had lost his wife in July the previous year and had four children; one just older than Ernest and one still a baby in diapers. John Dauner and Janie journeyed to the county seat of Bloomfield, Indiana to obtain a marriage license and be married, while a wedding supper was prepared at the home of Janie and her father, Scotty. It was an all day journey by horse and buggy, eight miles each way. Janie's son, Ernest remembers that the wedding supper was served and then all the leftovers were just left on the table as Janie with her three children went to the John Dauner's home for the night. The next day they returned to clean up the mess and to move Janie's belongings to the Dauner's house. However, Janie's father, Scotty, who was unhappy about the marriage and the breaking up of what had become his home, smashed every dish and it's contents against the wood burning range. A head of an ice cream freezer, borrowed from a friend, was also broken from being hurled against a tree. Janie never saw her father again after that day.^4,1 In 1913, Ernest Nathaniel Holt moved with his parents to Arbyrd, Dunklin County, Missouri; They rented a farm about two miles from the little town of Arbyrd. There was lots of handwork on the farm for all the family. When the overgrown cotton was ready for harvest, World War I broke out and prices for farm products collapsed due to the temporary lose of the European marketers. Cotton that year was .02 cents per pound.^5,1 In January 1915, Ernest Nathaniel Holt moved with his parents to Kennett, Missouri; They lived on a farm near Janie's brothers Ivan and Issac.

He said that he lived with his Uncle Isaac after his parents had both passed away and also with his Uncle Ivan for two months in 1916. From Ernest writings, one can tell that he had tremendous respect for his Uncle Isaac and Aunt Bertha. Later Ernest's granddad, Scotty, arranged for Ernest to live with a young married couple, Clina & Mabel Haslers.

     OBITUARY: "Henry Bricker was born in Columbiana County, Ohio, January 12, 1837. Reared on a farm he was trained in his boyhood days in the peaceful pursuits of an agricultural life. At the age of eighteen he was accorded the privilege of learning a trade in which he was pecuniary aided by his father. Accordingly leaving ghe parental roof-tree and facing life, in its sterner aspects, he became an apprentice to the blacksmith's trade at West Unity, Williams county, for two and a half years, completing his apprenticeship at Hayesville, Ashland county. On April 3, 1857 he married Mary Ann Bear and settled in Swan township, Noble county, Indiana, where he plied his trade until the drumbeat and the call to arms roused him from his peaceful activities and sent him forth as a defender of the nation's honor. Enlisted with his brother, David, at Indianapolis on October 8, 1861 in the 5th Battery of Indiana Artillery, he participated in te battles of Chapel Hill, Stone River, Chicamauga, Buzzard's Roost, Pine Tree Creek, Atlanta, Resaca, Jonesboro and others, acquitting himself with the fortitude and honor of a true soldier. He and his brother were honorably discharged November 19, 1864, having served nearly two months more than their term of enlistment. Laying down the weapons of warfare he returned to his home and again took up the implements of industry and peace and diligently applied himself to his trade. In 1866 he removed to Hicksville when he established himself in business and pursued his trade for fifteen years more when he abandoned it and gave his attention to farming. Seven children came to bless and brighten the home, tow of whom died in infancy and five survive him. It was his privilege and joy to see his children established in life and enjoying the comforts of good homes. His father and mother having been members of the Reformed church, he was catechised in that fiath in his childhood, but did not unite with the church until he comprehended and understood well what he was doing and knew for himself that he had experienced a change of heart. In his early manhood he joined the United Brethren church, transferring his membership to Hicksville in 1866, where he continued an active member and a zealous worker. He was a liberal contributor and supporter of the church, being on of the instigators of the movement which resulted in the erection of the present edifice. He was largely instrumental in securing the bhilding funds and gave general supervision oto the erection of the building, devoting the entire season to the duties entrusted to him with skill and efficiency. He served his church in various official relations - as Sunda school superintendent, church treasurer, and as trustee, during his entire church life always proving himself efficient and faithful.
     Mr. Bricker was a man among men. His integrity was unquestioned, his honor unsullied and his character unimpeachable. As a citizen he stood for civic righteousness and public morality. Quiet and unassuming reticent and unabltrusive he walked the peaceful paths of life always according others the smae privileges which he himself enjoyed. It was not his to molest or make afriad but with a calm dignity and manly bearing he held the esteem of all. Whether in public life or private dealing he held himself above suspicion. As a Christian he was earnest and devout, Faithful and loyal he stinted not in serivce or giving. With faith unfeigned he held himself to Christian duty. Unemotional in nature there were depths to his soul, therefore, he was not quickly and easily moved. But when stirred his frame would tremble and the depths of his nature would send fourth the flood of tears. He delighted in the worship of God's house and was always to be seen in his pew until his physical condition forbade him this pleasure. He was a good husband and a tender and loving father. Kind but not over-indulgent he taught by example as well as by precept and 'commanded his children after him.' Following the scriptural injunction he brought them up 'in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.'
     During his service in the army, on account of its hardships and meager fare his physical health was undermined and he contracted the disease which worked his undoing. For more than a year he had been slowly but steadily failing. His strong will and energy kept him active until a short time before his death. Because of this he frequently went beyond his powers of endurance. At last compelled to yield to the ravages of the disease he was kept within the confines of the home. But whilst he was living until the shadows of the earth life he saw the lights of the other world. This life lost its charms and he was desirous to depart and be with Christ, and as the watcher wakefully awaits the dawn so he patiently abided the time of his going. Death held no terrors for him. With his family about him to give every attention and care to render his last hours most comfortable he went "not like the quarry slave at night scourged to his dungeon, but sustained and soothed by an unfaltering trust, approached his grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to peaceful dreams. he departed this life December 11, 1912 at the venerable age of 75 years, 10 months, and 29 days.
