WOOLSEY, Charles T. - Putnam

Prominent among the successful business men of Danville is Charles T. WOOLSEY, who is now devoting his time and attention to the real-estate business. A man of keen discimination and sound judgment, his pronounced business ability and excellent management have brought to him a high degree of success. He was born in Bainbridge, Indiana Jan 21, 1875, his parents being George W. and Sarah (Nelson) Woolsey. The father is a newspaper man and for several years has been editor and publisher of the Banner in Danville. In the public schools of this city Charles T. Woolsey acquired a good practical education and on putting aside his text books entered a printing office, where he soon mastered the trade, continuing to follow that occupation for about 15 years. IN 1905 he embarked in the real-estate business, which has steadily grown from year to year until he is now one of the leading real estate dealers of Danville, handling not only his own property, but a large amoung for others. He keeps well posted on everything connected with his line of trade and his success is due to his own energy and perserverance. Mr. Woolsey was married in Covington, Indiana on 25 Oct 1897 to Miss Marie M. Walz, who was born in Danville and is a daughter of George Walz, one of the old residents of this city and one of the first furniture dealers and undertakers here. This union has been blessed by four children, 3 sons and one daughter: Wood, now 11; Carl, 9; Jean 6 and Mary Jane, an infant. Mr. Woolsey is not identified with any political party but endeavors to support those measures which he believes to be for the public good and votes for the best qualified to fill the offices. In 1907 he was appointed notary public for a term of four years and is now acceptably filling that position. He is a man of unflinching integrity and commercial honor who enjoys in the highest measure the respect of all who know him. That many of his stanchest friends are numbered among those who have known him from boyhood to the present time is an indication that his has been an honorable and upright life and one worhty of the esteem in which he is universally held.
