Charles E. Scharlau
Charles E. Scharlau (May 23, 1845 – March 23, 1903) was an American soldier and political leader in the State of Illinois. He was born in Pomerania where his parents were farmers. In 1851 his family immigrated to the United States in search of a better life, and settled in Chicago. At age 17 Charles enlisted in the Union Army in the Fifty-seventh Illinois Volunteers, and later served under Major-General John A. Logan. After discharge Charles entered politics and served two terms in the Illinois House of Representatives where his efforts were instrumental〔
〕 in bringing about the successful election of John A. Logan as U.S. Senator representing Illinois. Charles' candidacy for the Illinois Legislature in 1880 led to the celebrated Scharlau-Mieroslowski contested election which, after two recounts, was not settled until three months later when the Illinois Committee on Elections ruled in Mieroslowski's favor.〔

Born in Alt Tellin, Germany on May 23, 1845 he was christened "Carl Johann Ludwig Ernst Scharlau" and assumed the name Charles E. Scharlau after immigrating to the United States in 1851. His family set down roots in Chicago, Illinois where Charles attended the Franklin Public School. At twelve years of age Charles apprenticed as a gilder, eventually becoming foreman of Rando & Company's picture frame establishment. In 1862, at seventeen years of age, he enlisted in Company G 57th Illinois Volunteer Infantry Regiment, then re-enlisted as a veteran at Lynnville, Tennessee, in December 1863. He served in the Sixteenth Army Corps under General Richard J. Oglesby, and in the Fifteenth Corps under Major-General John A. Logan. He was with the Army of the Tennessee on Sherman's March to the Sea, and was injured May 9, 1864, in the passage of Ostanola River, at the Battle of Resaca. He was in the Battle of Bentonville, NC, and was in the Grand Review of the Armies at Washington D.C., May 23, 1865.〔
〕 Charles received his discharge in June 1865 and soon thereafter returned to Chicago to resume work at his trade.
