Notes:
He died a tragic death at 79, shot and killed in his home in Columbia along with his step daughter's daughter, Glenice Ellingwood, a young mother. His step daughter's estranged husband, Thomas Drinkwater of Bangor, was the killer. The stepdaughter, Alice (Dorr) Drinkwater, 41 in 1948 , then shot and killed her husband to protect her dead daughter's baby and herself. A state trooper, Maynard Lindsay of Harrington, a personal friend of Harley, was seriously wounded at the scene but eventually recovered. Some newspaper accounts said that the baby was Alice's, but I'm pretty sure it was her daughter's. The day after the shootings, the court in Machias quickly cleared Alice of the mandatory charge of manslaughter in the death of her husband.

Notes:
He is named after his biological father, Charles Kimball Worcester and was given his mother's maiden name.
According to the 1900 Federal Census he was living with his grandfather, Talbot and mother, Mary Pendlegras French, in Columbia, Maine.
According to the 1910 Federal Census he was living with his stepfather, Harvey Holly Smith and mother, Mary Pendlegras French Smith, in Columbia, Maine.
According to the 1930 census he was living on Branch Avenue in Providence, RI, with his wife, oldest son, and youngest son and daughter.
According to his WWI Draft Registration Card, 1917-1918, he was a laborer for the Northern Maine Packing Company, Corinna, ME.
Lived at 14 Winchester Street, Providence, RI in 1940s.
He was known as "Charlie K. Smith" as a boy as his step-father was a Smith (according to Charles Drisko, local Columbia, ME historian who knew him as young man).
In an interview with his daughter, Mary Edith French on July 18, 1999 she said "Grampa's mother and step-father were strict Baptists. They made him stay dressed on Sunday and walk around outside reading the Bible".
He worked at the Steere textile mill off Veazie Street in Providence, RI as a boilerman. He was burned on his arm, head and chest. He lost all his hair in the incident. He then went to the Wanscutt mill on Branch Ave, Providence, RI as a boilerman and watchman. He also worked at Brown University as a watchman. He became sick for several years and his wife had to go to work in the mills. He was an excellent housekeeper, cook, baker and he sewed. He was also an excellent carpenter and cabinet maker. He was strict with his children teaching them to share. The family considered themselves "poor". Two of their children (Norma and Carol) were sent to live with his half sister Hazel because of their poverty. The family lived in several "row" houses owned by the mills (Winchester Street) and he ultimately purchased the duplex house he lived in on Winchester Street when the mill closed.
