“Charles E. Pike (1816-1899) was born in Calais, Maine, the son of Samuel T. Pike and Susanna Day. He graduated from Bowdoin College and after two years teaching in a private school in Machias, Maine he began his law studies in the offices of attorneys in his native town before obtaining a degree at Harvard Law School. He returned to Machias to practice law and represented his town in the Legislature of Maine in 1847. By 1853 he was a counselor-at-law in Boston and living there with his wife Mary Bowles (b. 1833), also born in Maine, who he had married that year. They moved to Newton Center the following year, and in 1856 Pike was elected to the Massachusetts Legislature.4 Mary Pike’s poor health led to their decision to move to Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1859.5 By then the couple had four children, Charles (b. 1855), Frank (b. 1856), Anna (b. 1857) and Willie (b. 1858). A fifth child, Frederick, was born in Wisconsin in 1863. Charles E. Pike served as solicitor of internal revenue in Washington, D.C. in 1865 and 1866, and the family was enumerated living in Boston in 1870. By 1880 they were back in Oshkosh where Charles E. Pike died in 1899.”
