HANCOCK & SONS. A business leader in his community, Charles was active socially as a member of the board of trustees in the local Methodist Church and succeeded his father on the board of Dubuque's beautiful Linwood Cemetery. He was later active in racing at Nutwood Park and he was elected chairperson for the Iowa Republican Central Committee in 1898.
