Charles D Latimer
b. June 1833 Ohio
d. 9 October 1915
He spent time in several different National Homes for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers from which records I discovered that:
He was in Company G of the 74th New York Infantry under Captain Chester.
He was 5'6", light complexion, blue eyes, grey hair, and his occupation is burnisher.
He has a brother named Virgil T Latimer (except that it's Virgil P Latimer)
He has a sister named Mrs. Hattie Lutzen (Harriet Luttgen)
He has a relative named Walter Lutgen (turned out to be his cousin, Harriet's son)
He had a niece named Mrs. Fannie Edgar (married James Edgar 2nd, the last name of her first husband was Thornburg. I haven't tracked down her maiden name yet, so I don't know how she's Charles's niece).
His health problems: right inguinal hernia, impaired vision, incontinence, senility, bunions on both feet.
Tracing the above people, I believe that Charles D. Latimer and Virgil P Latimer are the sons of Sylvester Latimer and Harriet is his daughter.
I'm not positive about this list of children for Sylvester Latimer as some census years had slightly different info and I don't have "proof" other than Charles's brother was Virgil and his sister was Harriet Lutgen...and Harriet's parents are Sylvester and Harriet.
children of Sylvester and Harriet Meeker:
1-Virgil P Latimer b. January 1830, husband to Josephine Hopkins
2-Henry Sylvester Latimer b. 13 September 1831, husband to Lucinda Coon (according to a family tree on ancestry.com)
3-Charles D Latimer b. June 1833, husband to Frances E Newman
4-Sarah J Latimer b. about 1834 (16 in the 1860 census)
5-Mary A Latimer b. about 1836 (14 in the 1860 census)
6-Martha Rose Latimer b. about 1838 (12 in the 1850 census, 31 in the 1870), wife of Henry Clark
but why is Rose Latimer living with Sylvester in the 1870 census...why isn't she with her husband?
7-Josephine Latimer b. about 1840 (she was not in the 1850 census, but was 20 in the 1860 census, and there's a Josey in the 1870 census that is 28)
8-Harriet M Latimer b. 23 November 1842 d. 6 June 1910, wife of Lucius A A (Ludwig Adolph August) Luttgen (8 in 1850, 17 in 1860)

I can't find him in the 1860, 1870, or the 1880 census, or the New York State Censuses. The 1900 census is the only time divorce is listed. Frances is listed as a widow in 1872, 1880, 1882, and 1889.
