After David and Anna Nash separated, Charles and his brother George were literally "farmed out" to Robert Lapworth as farm laborers.

In 1900, David & Anna Nash were living next door to their son George in Genesee Co., Michigan. The census stated that David and Anna had both been married for 45 years and that she had 4 children with 3 living in 1900. The family turmoil that sent Charles and George to their "indentured" living conditions did not culminate in a divorce.

David Nash died in Otisville, Genesee Co., Michigan, on April 4, 1917, and is buried in Forest Cemetery. He was the son of Daniel & Abigail Nash.
