      Notes 
      • Charles owned a farm in Arenac Co. on Delano Rd, approximately 1/2 mile from Whitman Rd. Approximately 1907, he moved his family from Arenac Co. to 503 Warner Ave., Bay City where in 1910 the city Directory lists Charles W. Doane (farmer),
        Arthur A. Doane (farmer), Herman L. Doane (machinist), Edna Doane (student), Ellen Doane (milliner), Howard C. Doane (laborer), Martha V. Doane (dressmaker, boards at same address). At sometime, Charles moved his home to #70 on N. Henry St.
        (State Park Dr.). The farm house still stands. He sold 5 acres of the farm to the Fox family, who again divided that acreage with the Hale family. Charles is remembered as a tall, thin man who worked hard. He claimed he ate so much, that it
        made him poor just to carry it around. His farm was 20 acres, had small crops, lots of chickens, 2 horses (1 died), and a large barn. After the one horse died, he and the farmer next door combined each of their horses when either man found it
        necessary to use a team for plowing, etc. It ran from N. Henry (State Park Dr.) all the way throught to State St., the next street over. He had grape vines on the farm which are said to have produced the best grapes around. He farmed in Bay
        Co. a total of 28 years. He had a remedy which was frequently requested by neighbors who had a sick horse. It seemed to work wonderfully. It was not used on humans. Charles was a lay minister of the Gospel at the Christian Assmbly, and was
        active there for many years. He owned a square grand piano which cost him $5 which Olive used to play. Charles was the first of the Bay City Doan's to own a car. The last work he performed before he died was to trim back his favorite grape
        vines. The farm sold for $5500 after his death. The 1911 Bay City City Directory spelled the last name of he, his family members, and his siblings as Doane.
