Charles worked in his father’s store in McConnelsville, and later was a flatboat captain on the Ohio River, running produce on the river. During the Civil War, he carried supplies, ammunition and soldiers for the US Government. He continued in this business until 1868. In 1871, he and his family moved to Peoria, Illinois and worked for the Sloan, Johnson & Co, mercantile business for seven years. .In 1878 Charles moved to Sumner County, Kansas, along with other relatives - brothers John and Alexander, sisters Ada and Grace. He sold out his land and business interests there in 1885 and returned to Fulton County, Illinois where his cousin John Mummey, son of Thomas Mummey, was a blacksmith. He worked for Charles J. Off as a traveling agent selling agricultural implements, buggies, carriages and hardware. In the town of Farmington, he established a store that sold hardware, stoves and farm machinery under the name Mummey & Co. He was living there April 16, 1887 when he wrote this letter on his store’s letterhead:
Brother Fred,
By request of Sister Lida, I hereby notify you that I hereby release all claims
to my interest in the Estate of our Sister Nellie, deceased. And hereby request
you to divide her interest in the estate of our Father David Mummy, deceased,
as she has requested, the same being entirely satisfactory to me as I think
Lulu & Fannie will need all the help they can get. I have always felt that
Lulu was taking great risk in entering into a matrimonial alliance with a total
stranger & especially a Southerner. She being totally ignorant of Southern
manners & customs & finding them so different from what she would
naturally expect. She could not feel entirely satisfied with her lot in this
world.
All things are all right with me, as usual am having a good trade &
enjoying life as well or better than I deserve. Family all well as usual. We
had a big fire here last night, it burnt up 8 business rooms on the south side
of the street but as usual good luck followed me & it stopped just 2 doors
east of me.
Write often & obliged,

On 8 Oct 1861, William enlisted into Captain Floyd's Company, which became Co. B, 62nd Ohio Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War. He was listed as a farmer, 5'10" tall with a fair complexion, blue eyes and brown hair. In August of the next year he was sent to the hospital and subsequently was discharged for disability on 24 Oct 1862, suffering from "phthisis pulmonalis," a disease now known as tuberculosis. He died less than five months later.
William lied about his age when he enlisted. Military records say he was eighteen in 1861. Family records from the 1890's have the birthdate that is given, which calculates to age sixteen at enlistment. His tombstone says he died in 1863 "in his seventeenth year" which would have him enlisting at age fifteen.
