Charles E. Taylor first came to the North in 1898 to seek his fortune. Following stints in Skagway and Dawson, he served as city clerk of Fairbanks, Alaska, from 1908 to 1910. In the autumn of 1910 he moved with his family to Flat, Alaska, to serve four years as U.S. Commissioner. He subsequently moved to Iditarod, Alaska, to practice law, and in 1925 relocated to Fairbanks. His appointment as Assistant U.S. District Attorney for the 2nd Division, Alaska, took him to Nome for two years (1927 to 1929), but in 1929 he resigned and returned to Fairbanks. There he continued to work in the legal field until his death in 1941. Charles was predeceased by his first wife, May Wickersham Taylor (sister of Judge James Wickersham, died 1921). Their daughter, Lucile, married Earl B. Hunt at Iditarod in 1917; in 1918 the couple moved to Texas, which became their lifelong home.
