Married2939 1874 Sep 284340 at Jamestown, NY4340. In 1880, Matilda H "Vesie" is listed as Charles D's wife. The Titusville (PA) Herald, in a column entitled "Yesteryear in Titusville," titbits from previous issues of the paper are quoted. Among the quotations is, from the Oct 4, 1874 issue, the report of the marriage of Charles D Veazie of Parker City, Pa., and Mathilda Meising of Tutsville, Pa. They were married by Rev James A Robinson, rector of St Luke's church.
Charles enlisted2938 Sep 24, 1863, Geneva, NY, in Co D of the First NY Cavalry. He was discharged in West Virginia, Jul 20, 1865. The cause of discharge is listed as "M. C." with a disability of "Rheu" contracted "Since Wa." His deathdate is given in that military history record. He is listed as a widower, his residence as Niagara Falls, NY, and his nearest relative his brother Harrison H Veazie, address "Masonic Temple," Detroit, MI. In 1880, Charles was an hotel keeper in Titusville, PA.
The marriage announcement4340 for Matilda and Charles, mentions her as "of Titusville." In the 1880 census, Matilda H Veazie, age 26, lists her parents as both being born in Germany. Matilda Meising is listed4341 in Titusville, PA, residing in the household of John and Louisa Meising, both born Prussia. Apparent siblings listed in that record: Pter, Annie, Theressa, Benjamin, and Matthew.
It appears that soon after 1880, Charles and Matilda were divorced, as Matilda married4079 Aug 2, 1881, in Manhattan, George W Everitt. George and Matilda appear in the 1910 census2264 for Brooklyn. That record indicates it was a first marriage for George, and Matilda's second marriage. She is also listed as the mother of 1 child, none living.
Mrs Matilda H Everitt died4342 at the age of 59, while visiting in Wilkes-Barre, PA, from blood poisoning. She had scratched a finger with a pin, treated it with household remedies, fell ill a few days later, and died as a result of that blood poisoning.
