Biographical and Portrait Cyclopedia of Fayette County by Gresham and Wiley,
1889, p320
 Charles Call (deceased) was born in Wood county, Ohio. His educational
advantages were limited on account of the scarcity of schools in the section
where he was reared.
 His father, John Call, a native of Ohio, was a very prominent stock dealer
of his day. He bought horses, cattle and sheep in Ohio, and would drive them
to Baltimore to market. For many years he followed this business. In about
1832 or 1833 he started from home with a drove of horses destined for
Baltimore, and was never heard of afterward. His family removed to
Pennsylvania and settled at Greensboro, Greene county, Penna. As soon as
Charles Call was old enough he went to work as a tender boy in the glass
factory operated at that place. He afterward learned the glassblower�s
trade, and followed that business most of his life.
 His mother belonged to the Minor family, who were of the earliest families
that settled in Greene county. Her brother, Theophilus Minor, was a well
known river man, and with him Charles Call ran on the river for some time.
 Charles Call was married to Miss Hannah R Lynn. They reared a family of
seven children. (For his ancestry see a sketch of Mr Lynn�s family in this
book.) Mr Call was prominent as a Mason; he served several years as justice
of the peace of the borough of Belle Vernon; he had a remarkable memory,
could retain whatever he read. He was highly respected by all who knew him;
he was ever ready to help the needy and to minister to all who were in
distress; he died at Belle Vernon where he had lived for many years; his
wife died eleven years previous to his death.
