March 1906

Charles M. Pearre was born near Unionville, Carroll County, Md., April 22, 1838; and died at his home, near Guion, Taylor County, Tex., July 29, 1905. After leaving school at Dickinson College, Carlisle, Pa., he was with a mercantile house for two or three years, but in 1860 he went to Texas and engaged in stock-raising. In 1861 he joined Terry's Texas Rangers, and commanded Company A from 1862 to 1865. After the war closed, he returned to Texas, disposed of his scattered stock, and again engaged in the mercantile business at Bryan, where he married Miss Anna V. Martin in 1870. In 1872 he removed to Galveston, and there became prominent as a citizen and business man, as in every community where he lived a high place was given him in the estimation of all the people.

Comrade Pearre was on the staff of Gen. Van Zandt, of the Texas Division, U. C. V., ranking as Major. His wife and one son survive him.
