Charles William Wyatt was born January 1, 1836 in Lebanon, Russell County, Virginia, to Edmund Wyatt and wife, Margaret (Peggy) Roe.  He was still living there in 1850 but by 1860 was living in the Nebraska territory.

He joined the Civil War on the Confederate side as an adjutant, serving in companies F and S of the 22nd Virginia Cavalry (H.S. Bowen's Virginia Mounted Riflemen).  In later re-enlistment, he advanced to Lieutenant Colonel.  There is a photograph of lt. Col. Wyatt shaking hands with Col. H.S. Bowen about 1964.
After the war ended, Charles W. Wyatt headed west, and by 1870 he and his wife were sharing a house with his brother's family in Hopkins County, Texas.  Charles was a merchant and his brother, James Morgan Wyatt, was a boot-and shoemaker.  A few months later the brothers headed farther west in Texas and ended up in St. Jo in Montague County.  In the 1870's this area was still occupied by native Americans and many settlers in St. Jo had been killed by them.

Charles and Margaret Ada Wyatt had a son names Charles on June 23,1874. When he was less than a month old, little Charles died on July 15,1874, and was buried in Head of Elm Cemetery in St. Jo.  Tragically, his mother died a month later and was buried beside him. On September 15,1878, four years afte4r losing his family, Charles William Wyatt also died and was buried with them.
