  Notes	He is buried in the family plot of the Gentz at Magnolia Cemetery. Also in that family plot is a child, Kitty Marie Gentz, whose headstone reads "d April 30, 1906. Age 3 months, 1 day." According to that information, Kitty Marie was born January 31, 1906. Charles had a wife, Mary, who is listed in 1910 census and she is also listed as his wife in his draft registration as nearest relative. It's speculation that Kittie Marie was his child with her.
