Charles Wacker, the son of Christian Wacker and Katherine (Spies) Wacker, was born September 19, 1864 in Collinsville, Madison County, Illinois.
Charles's father Christian Wacker was a Saloonkeeper in Collinsville, Illinois. In the summer of Charles's sixteenth year, his father Christian died. He became the "man of the house," and had to help his widowed mother manage the family and help with his seven younger brothers and sisters. Charles's mother Katherine remarried in August of 1884 to a John Miller. The family moved across the river to St. Louis, Missouri. This respite from head of the family was short lived, as Charles's step-father John Miller died from a tragic accident after baby sister Emma was born in 1887.
To help support the family, Charles found work as a compounder in a distillery in St. Louis, Missouri. Charles Wacker never married. He lived with his widowed mother and younger siblings in St. Louis.
